What could burn
Vladimir Sarabianov, art, known restorer:
- Yes, the Grabar Center sophisticated equipment, but this is vospolnimoe. The main thing is there on the restoration of the mass of unique things. As far as I remember, in this building, tempera and oil departments and the department of manuscripts. Many things are waiting for the restoration of the complex, sometimes they lie for 5-10 years. All the most prominent and complicated for a "treatment" of the cultural monuments there. Including works from the Tretyakov Gallery. The loss of such things - an irreparable loss. It remains to pray!
