Congratulations to the Restoration Center team of the museum "Collection" on their professional holiday
For over 20 years, a true miracle has been unfolding within the walls of the museum "Collection". Our craftsmen are multitalented artisans who combine the talents of painters, watchmakers, engineers, and musicians. Thanks to their skilled hands and immense patience, masterpieces of the past recover their pristine appearance and find their voice once again.
Our Restoration Center is genuinely peerless. Its experts meticulously restore and fine-tune antique musical instruments, mechanical rarities, and all kinds of sound recording and playback devices. They breathe second life into the most complex clocks and automata, while also performing artistic and woodwork projects of any complexity.
You bring back to the world not just pieces of art, but the very soul of past eras: their mechanical genius and authentic sound.
Thank you for your meticulous work, devotion to your craft, and jewelry-like precision! We wish you endless inspiration, new professional discoveries, and the flawless operation of every mechanism!
Happy holiday, dear colleagues!
