A Joint Endeavour

María Teresa Dávila Álvarez, Restorer, 1982-2013

I’ve had the opportunity to get to know all the museums. I worked for a while at the art museum in Munich and I have also worked at the Kunsthistorisches Museum. I gradually acquired the things that I thought might make my work easier and that it would be good to have. I brought things back from abroad for the Restoration Workshop. These things were introduced into our work, because I talked to everyone: management, curators, the technical department ... And they spoke to us. It’s been a combined effort, a joint endeavour. It hasn’t been just one thing, and, in this group, I was just one piece. I believe the group is made up of professionals who have been extremely receptive and open. All of this has been important when it comes to carrying out our work.
