en las salas <strong>de</strong>l segundo piso, lo que<br />

resultó en una transferencia exitosa sin<br />

contratiempos.<br />

Respecto al movimiento y seguridad<br />

<strong>de</strong> las obras que son solicitadas<br />

internacionalmente, colaboramos con la<br />

custodia y seguridad <strong>de</strong>l Retrato <strong>de</strong> Martín<br />

Zapater <strong>de</strong> Francisco <strong>de</strong> Goya y Lucientes,<br />

el cual llevamos al <strong>Museo</strong> Nacional <strong>de</strong><br />

<strong>Arte</strong> en la Ciudad <strong>de</strong> México. Al igual,<br />

custodiamos la pintura El secuestro <strong>de</strong><br />

Jesús <strong>de</strong> Monsú Desi<strong>de</strong>rio <strong>de</strong>s<strong>de</strong> el <strong>Museo</strong><br />

<strong>de</strong> Coeur d’Or en Metz, Francia. Estos<br />

viajes a otros museos representan una rica<br />

experiencia para el personal <strong>de</strong>l <strong>Museo</strong> ya<br />

que permite la colaboración con colegas<br />

<strong>de</strong> variadas culturas y la experimentación<br />

<strong>de</strong> cerca con sus ambientes <strong>de</strong> trabajo.<br />

Estos logros no hubiesen sido posibles sin<br />

la entrega y arduo trabajo <strong>de</strong>l personal<br />

<strong>de</strong> nuestro Laboratorio <strong>de</strong> Conservación,<br />

integrado por Ángel D. Santiago-Torres<br />

Guarding and Conserving<br />

Art for Its Enjoyment<br />

As <strong>2005</strong> came to an end, we felt a<br />

great sense of satisfaction for the many<br />

achievements obtained throughout the<br />

year. The workload required a close<br />

collaboration among the Curatorial,<br />

Registrar, and Conservation Laboratory<br />

Departments and the staff from Exhibition<br />

Preparations. It was <strong>de</strong>finitely a year of<br />

renewal, not only for the physical structure<br />

of the Museum, but also for its public<br />

outreach programs, relevant cultural<br />

activities, and extraordinary events.<br />

This is prove that the Museum has entered<br />

a phase of profound changes that has<br />

brought on an evolution whose impact has<br />

been felt throughout our institution.<br />

We began the year by <strong>de</strong>signing and<br />

manufacturing climate-controlled showcases<br />

for the old books in the temporary<br />

exhibit La Memoria en el papel: Libros y<br />

estampas <strong>de</strong> la colección Franz Mayer. The<br />

responsibility of evaluating the condition<br />

of all the exhibit pieces was shared with<br />

Víctor Calafell, Curator of Works of Art<br />

on Paper from the <strong>Museo</strong> Franz Mayer<br />

in Mexico City, who also helped to stage<br />

the exhibition. It is important to mention<br />

that this exhibition taught our community<br />

that collecting art on paper is won<strong>de</strong>rful<br />

and that there is no need to fear that the<br />

paper will <strong>de</strong>teriorate, thereby making the<br />

work of art disappear.<br />
