PRESERVING A LEGACY

The Schulthess-von Meiss Collection consists of over 12,000 works on paper from Schongauer to Goya and was donated to the Graphische Sammlung ETH Zürich in 1894. Since June 2020, this collection has been restored whenever necessary in order to secure the conservation of these valuable works.
