Museums & Cultural Institutions

The Met, MoMA, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Newark Museum, and dozens of institutions across the tri-state. Artifact conservation, building facade restoration, and exhibition cleaning at premium rates.

The Challenge

Museums and cultural institutions hold irreplaceable objects and occupy architecturally significant buildings. Conservation cleaning must be precise, controllable, and completely reversible in its effects on the surrounding substrate. Sandblasting and chemical cleaning fail this standard. Laser cleaning meets it.
