Historical artefacts and buildings reveal valuable information about the society that developed them, but they do not last forever. More than 30 Government conservators devise preservation plans, strategies and treatments to protect Hong Kong's ageing relics.
News.gov.hk spoke with four conservators who explained the delicate process of restoring valuable artefacts.
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department's Conservation Office also revealed details of its new Conservation Clinic where people can bring family heirlooms for assessment and receive advice on how to preserve them.
The story appears on news.gov.hk today (June 7) in both text and video format.
