Grant Description

Funds are requested for the conservation of three very important works from the National Museum of Arts and Folk Heritage.

All three of the works are by Algerian artists working in the earlier part of the century, representing an important cross-section of Algerian cultural heritage. The project will restore the paintings and train curatorial staff in restoration methods.
