Abstract

How should complex, interwoven and fragmented pieces of art be dealt with, particularly when housed in areas that are permanently open to the public? The University of Bamberg, Germany, initiated two studies on this issue. Detailed research was carried out utilising the murals found in the Dominican church located in the centre of the UNESCO world heritage city of Bamberg. The issue was broken down into three objectives: development of a thorough understanding of how to decipher the meaning of artworks; establishment of appropriate conservation methods for the murals; a means of creating a full appreciation of the murals' rich and vivid history by visitors with different levels of prior knowledge.
