The Conservation Unit is responsible for preservation, conservation, technical study, research and documentation of textiles in the museum’s permanent collection. Technical expertise is offered to care and maintain textiles of sacred, religious, cultural and historical significance in royal, monastic and private collections in the country.
The permanent collection represents a broad range of Bhutanese textiles including embroideries, costumes, and three-dimensional accessories of all periods and traditions. The unit sets guidelines for care, handling, display and storage of the textiles, and has played a key role in the Textile Museum’s initiative to create a dedicated facility Compact Storage Systems(CSS) with a purpose-built freezer and pre- and post-treatment areas.
