Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen includes four institutions
Doerner Institut
The Doerner Institut employs a combination of conservator-restorers, specialists in technical analysis, scientists, a frame restorer, a woodworker, and exhibition and museum technicians. In addition to its work in the conservation studio and lab, the institute is responsible for preventive conservation, including building-related and security matters. Through its research into artistic techniques and materials and the close ties between practical conservation and scientific research, the Doerner Institut plays an important role in preserving cultural heritage.
