The first comprehensive scientific investigation of the late Romanesque portico, funded by the non-profit Fundación Barrié, has ended and the restoration and conservation work is expected to begin in early 2013
London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, which has a full-scale replica of the portico in its cast collection, is set to host a symposium on the restoration project on 15 June. As well as a series of lectures by conservators and curators, the programme will include a version of the travelling exhibition on the project, including a video of a virtual re-creation of the portico (above) and a concert performed using instruments reconstructed from those depicted on it.
