The Key Scientific Research Base of Textile Conservation of the National Cultural Heritage Administration (hereinafter referred to as the “Base”) was approved by the National Cultural Heritage Administion in 2010 and officially established in 2012. Over the past decade, seven workstations have been set up by the Base at home and abroad, and the crew of the Base has worked massively in scientific research, emergency conservation, cultural heritage restoration, personnel training etc., with fruitful results, forming scientific cognition-oriented and research-based restoration characteristics.
