DANZANRAVJAA museum preservation project

The ACM successfully implemented the Danzanravjaa Museum Preservation Project from July 2005 with generous support from the American Embassy in Mongolia, successfully meeting the aims to provide museum storage facilities and conduct trainings on museum collection maintenance.

The project was aimed to build the capacity of museum staff and to provide appropriate archival facilities in order to preserve unique heritage riches of Danzanravjaa, one of the main representatives of Mongolian art, philosophy and Buddhism and was implemented in three phases including preparation, training and placement.

Series of trainings were conducted on collection maintenance and preservation for all museums from the entire Gobi region. The museum training kit on object handling and textile preservation techniques was developed and to be used for future regional museum projects and trainings in other parts of Mongolia.

Within the frame work of the project the Danzanravjaa museum received museum storage room with fully furnished with furniture, equipments and preservation supplies.

As the results of the project, Danzanravjaa museum staff received preservation and maintenance skills based on the tools that are available locally, the museum gained institutional development and was facilitated with adequate storage facilities and a place to operate conservation activities.
