The Patrons’ primary mission is to raise funds for the restoration, exhibition and ongoing care of the peerless works housed within the Vatican Museums’ extensive collection of both Western and non-Western art. The Illinois Patrons take on numerous restorations per year, both collectively and individually. Projects range in subject matter, medium, cost and duration.
“The art we have in the Vatican Museums is a moment encapsulated in the sands of time, standing still alongside its past, present and future. Without your congenial generosity, the test of time would decay the art into dust. Yet on the contrary, my friends, you have extended the life of art by this process, thus the brilliance of the works are forever instilled in the minds of the millions that walk through our gates because of your continuing concern for conservation.”
-Prof. Antonio Paolucci,
Director of the Vatican Museums
