Abstract
These artefacts have various fundamental differences, which have to be taken into account when collecting and preserving them. It is pertinent to check for old restorations, since these are often susceptible to fluctuations in heat and humidity. It is often not a good idea to place sculptures outdoors on the greens. The first indictor of an outdoor sculpture deteriorating is a loss of surface details. To keep a modern artwork in good health it is important to ensure a maintenance plan.
