Abstract
The stone objects collection of Goluchow Castle Museum contains several hundred pieces of figurative, bas relief, architectural, and ornamental sculpture. Many original masterpieces were purchased in the second half of the 19th century from France, Italy, and Spain. Some pieces have been found in place, and a number have been made as copies of authentic pieces. Nearly all objects of marble, sandstone, limestone, stucco, and terra cotta are firmly built into outer and inner walls of the castle. Since 1962 the collection has been undergoing treatment consisting mainly in cleaning and desalting; several methods of dry and wet cleaning were applied, and moist paper pulp method of desalting was used. Care should be taken to see that the dust and dirt are not let into the pores of the stone. Some protective measures have been taken against deep moistening, algal-lichens, and moss vegetation. -- AATA
