The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya has organized a special presentation to showcase the documentary series La ciència de l'art, which analyzes the use of technology in heritage conservation.

The documentary series explores the work of the MNAC restoration teams, revealing how science and new technologies allow for the discovery of hidden details in the collection's pieces. This audiovisual project offers an unprecedented look at spaces usually restricted to the public, such as laboratories, workshops, and specialized archives.
The activity, aimed at Amics del MNAC, includes the screening of three episodes of the series. During the session, attendees will be able to learn about the documentary's production process, from the selection of case studies to the research methodology applied by the museum's professionals.
The event will conclude with a discussion space to comment on the technical and scientific challenges presented in the series. The goal is to deepen the dialogue between art and technology, offering new perspectives for interpreting the museum's most prominent works.
