Have you seen the latest, unrecognisable and painful botched amateur art restoration? Join me, a professional art conservator, as I unpack what happened, give you my honest opinion and tell you how you can prevent more botched amateur restorations!

In summary - a private collector in Spain paid a furniture restorer to clean his painting... this was the result.

In this video I talk about
- previous botched amateur attempts at art restoration that have gone horribly wrong
- what art conservation (also known as artefact conservation, museum conservation and sometimes even art restoration) is meant to be
- what a professional art conservator is
- how to find a professional conservator
- and what you can do to help preserve our cultural heritage and prevent more amateur attempts at art restoration
