MUSEUM OF KYMENLAAKSO
INTERNSHIP

After working over four months in different fields of building restoration, I decided it would be good gain experience from working at a museum. I got an internship at the regional museum of Kymenlaakso. My job as an intern was very diverse: it included conservation, indexing objects, documentation, packaging and assisting the architectural researcher of the museum. 

​

I worked with conserving several different objects that were going to be exhibited the following yea, such as an ivory fan and a chest from 1800's. The inkle bands were washed and the ivory fan and the chest required some conservation procedures, including mechanical and chemical cleansing, consolidation and removing rust. I really enjoyed my hands-on training at the museum and gained a lot of new experience on the field.
