Project short description<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cultural heritage consists in artworks (painting, sculpture\u2026) but also in usual and everyday objects (tools, machines\u2026) sometimes unexpected, such as food preserves. Patented at the early 19th century, cans represent an important technological innovation and one of the symbols of consumer society. They are represented in several museum collections as witness to different time periods and significances. However, their conservation is particularly problematic as severe corrosion phenomena occur due to interaction with environment as well as between the organic content and the metallic sealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
