In this game, you’ll learn about the preventive conservation of cultural heritage.
The conservation of the cave of Altamira is based on prevention, research and careful monitoring of everything that happens here based on both natural processes and the presence of people. The key to the preventive conservation of the cave and its paintings is guaranteeing their stability; that is, to avoid sudden changes in the cave’s atmosphere and vibrations in its surroundings.
Other key factors are research, an interdisciplinary approach, planning, monitoring, protocols and shared responsibility.
