The subject of the restoration work was ``Rescue of treasures from the depositories of the North Bohemian Museum in Liberec``. The implementation was divided into three stages. The first two stages focused on the collections of Old Prints, the third stage on the sub-collections of the Jiří Harcuba Memorial.

During the restoration work, a total of 166 items from the collections of the North Bohemian Museum in Liberec, the oldest museum of arts and crafts in Bohemia, founded in 1873, were treated. In the first two stages, the collections alwais consisted of 50 books from the Old Prints collection. This rare collection of the Liberec Museum began to be created immediately after its foundation and has a large and rare collection of Renaissance and Baroque prints. In the third stage, 66 items from the Jiří Harcuba Memorial sub-collection were restored. In this phase, these included paintings, drawings, ornament patterns, studies, designs and models for the later processing of hollow blown glass and medals by this respected glass engraver and cutter and his ancestors.
