For centuries, the faithful prayed before icons of the divine for protection and preservation. In 2010, two eighteenth-century Russian icons in LUMA's collection called out for conservation. This installation celebrates their return. Accompanying didactic panels recount their treatment and the conservators' interesting discoveries about their creation and long histories.
