Project description
Interventions will be aimed at preserving the building organism while respecting the typological, formal and structural elements. It is planned to renovate the building's critical elements and restore the collection in order to create a new organic exhibition on Roman Civilisation. The interventions will be divided as follows:
- Preservation of the building: completion of structural renovation works (completion of waterproofing of roofs, renovation of external cladding, renovation of all downspouts and drainage routes, installation of a protection system against rising infiltration, consolidation and renovation of floors where necessary, removal of asbestos components, replacement of all windows and doors, possibly including skylights, painting of the entire interior and exterior surfaces). Creation of an environmental mitigation system that can induce favourable environmental conditions for the conservation of the collection (Ministerial Decree 10/05/2001) and the well-being of workers and the public (Legislative Decree 81/2008);
- Conservation of the collection: restoration of damaged works;
- Enhancement: elaboration of an exhibition design on the basis of the museological project provided by the scientific management of the museum.
The project for the fitting out and overhaul of the museum's collection exhibition itinerary must include the restoration of the disused rooms, the creation of additional services for the public (bookshop, refreshment area), the restoration of damaged works, the fitting out of the library, the overhaul and integration of the working systems, an access system to the roofs of the north wing and walkways in compliance with standards for walkways on the roof level.
