“Art and Science: Forgeries in the Museum” aims to show a different side of the Girona Art Museum and bring together two aspects of knowledge: art and science.
Generally, what we see when we go to the Museum are its rooms and the works on display. This time we want to invite educational centers to get to know the Museum from the inside and discover professions that often go unnoticed, but which become fundamental in order to be able to carry out the tasks of a museum: restoration and conservation.
With this backdrop, “Art and Science: Forgeries in the Museum” invites students to solve the tangle of the forgery case affecting the Girona Art Museum. The Museum has two identical works: which one is authentic? Based on a real case, students will use microscopes, pigment samples and X-ray supports and reproductions.
Ultimately, they will have to carry out work processes like true restoration professionals and, through scientific analysis, they will manage to solve the case.
