Restoration Lamb of God in danger

brussels/ghent - The Flemish government is concerned about the restoration of the most important artwork of Flanders, the altarpiece Lam Gods of the brothers Hubert and Jan van Eyck. In response to reports of a problem with the humidity in the Museum of Fine Arts in Ghent, Prime Minister Geert Bourgeois and Culture Minister Sven Gatz call together everyone who is involved in the restoration.

The Ministers 'make every effort to ensure a safe restoration of the Lamb of God. 'They want to suppress the unrest about the most popular painting by the Flemings as quickly as possible. '

The restoration in the museum is in the hands of the Royal Institute for Art Patrimony (KIK), and takes place in front of the museum visitors in a closed space. According to KIK, there has been a recent sharp drop in humidity in the museum, 'worrying for the preservation of the Mystic Lamb. '
