Allena, you truly believe that in the temple, it is better preserved than in a museum?

Master! Icon - this is not a picture, and no other work of art. This is the greatest difficulty in understanding the existing situation now.
If it was a picture painted on anything - on canvas, cardboard, board, etc., the better the museum is no place for it. Yes, the temperature, yes, moisture conditions, yes, vibration and other adverse factors - the best managing them in museums.
But the icon - it is generally more! I very sincerely believe that the only place the icon in the temple, and only in their natural environment, the icon can exist. And no matter how paradoxical it may sound, most useful icons for Wednesday - is a temple.
No sane person will not harm the saint for his subject. This is normal.
