Programme details

Monitoring our cultural heritage is important tbecause historical buildings are very sensible to any changes in its climatic, biological, chemical and physical environment. The Polish Academy of Science institute is one of seven partners in the European program 'sense organ', which seek to understand better how indoor climatic environments are affecting Europe's tens of thousands of organs. Authenticity is a value and our cultural heritage sites should be allowed to grow old gracefully without too much cosmetic surgery, say many experts. That's why monitoring and prevention comes before restoration whether it is for a simple church organ or a grand gothic cathedral.
