you look at objects, the more likely you are
to see the scars they bear. This is hard work up here. LOUD BANG Oof! With the Raphael gallery due to reopen to the public
in 25 days' time, head of paper conservation Alan

support. A little bit nervous cos you're approaching something
that's 500 years old. My torch is strapped to my wrist. My camera's strapped to me
