The Lost Treasures of Tibet - NOVA (6 of 7)

ORIGINAL UNCUT 54-MINUTE SPECIAL HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbaAnk9gtww

Part 6: Retouching the wall murals
In "Lost Treasures of Tibet," NOVA goes behind the scenes with the first conservation team from the West, as it undertakes the painstaking restoration of these ancient masterpieces and the beautiful monasteries that house them. The program follows the struggle of an international team headed by British conservationist John Sanday to restore Thubchen, the royal monastery in Mustang's capital of Lo Monthang. To deal with cleaning the murals, Sanday calls in Rodolfo Lujan from Italy, one of Europe's premier experts in art restoration.
-----------
This is by far one of the most comprehensive and mesmerizing documentaries about art conservation I have ever seen. The experience, enthusiasm and passion that Sanday and Lujan share is inspiring beyond words.
