When the Pedro and Angélica de Osma Foundation decided to organize the art collection from the viceroyalty that Pedro de Osma Gildemeister left, the idea was not only to have just an organized collection but also a Restoration workshop in order to preserve the historic-artistic patrimony of the museum.

Since there, with a multidisciplinary perspective, many well-known professionals worked mainly in paintings and sculptures. We also have the infrastructure to work with metals, textiles and furniture.

The preservation and restoration evolved remarkably in the workshop and the Foundation decided to build new equipped workshops in an area of 476 m2. Although the original idea for the workshop was to restore the art work that is in the museum, the prestige it has originated has made many people come to us to give us some extra work, some of which are really important. We can mention the restoration of the traditional Señor de los Milagros (Lord of the Miracles) image; the original mural that started that devotion, as well as the Nuestra Señora de la Nube (Our Lady of the Cloud) image. This last one is also related to El Señor de los Milagros image.

We have also restored the Death’s Archer of Baltasar Gavilán, an exclusive piece of the 18th century as well as the Immaculate Conception (1618) signed by one of the first Italian artists that came to Peru, Angelino Medoro. Both pieces belong to the Saint Agustin Convent in Lima. It can also be mentioned that of the Apotheosis of Saint Camilo, painting from Lima made by Cristóbal Lozano from the 18th century.

The list of restored pieces and places is wide. The contribution of the restoration workshop of the Pedro de Osma Museum has had a great significance.
