Home to the world’s second-largest Soviet avant-garde collection, the Savitsky Museum faces urgent conservation challenges due to harsh Aral Sea climate conditions. This project will equip its restoration lab with climate-control systems and specialized tools to stabilize and preserve fragile works. It will also strengthen in-house expertise and support other museums in the region facing similar risks.
