In the War Museum there are five conservation laboratories, well-equipped and staffed with appropriate scientific personnel. The services they provide are of high quality, with respect for the history of our national heirlooms and aim at the preservation of our historical heritage in order to be safely passed on to future generations. These are namely:
Laboratory for the Preservation of Old War Heirlooms

Laboratory for the Preservation of Works of Art and Relics on Paper
Diagnostic, preventative maintenance, and repair of works of art on paper (manuscripts, lithographs, copperplates, maps, photographs, and books).
Painting Conservation Workshop
The workshop carries out maintenance – restoration of paintings on canvas or fabric.
