Aragonese Team Conducts Court-Ordered Surveys at MNAC for Sijena Frescoes

MNAC grants access for detailed 3D surveys, reserving formal data delivery and sampling for Huesca court approval.

Overview

  • A three-person technical team from the Government of Aragón has begun photogrammetric scanning and condition assessments at the MNAC under a judge-mandated seven-month timetable.
  • MNAC staff have allowed the surveys to proceed in closed-access sessions but declined to hand over conservation records or permit sampling without a formal court order.
  • The Huesca court’s execution order gives MNAC ten working days to submit an alternative transfer plan subject to judicial supervision.
  • President Salvador Illa and Aragón’s Jorge Azcón publicly traded accusations over cooperation with the return process, with Illa urging gratitude for MNAC’s long-term preservation efforts.
  • About fifty ANC activists staged a sit-in outside MNAC on Monday to block Aragón’s technicians, but security forces ensured the work advanced with minimal interruption.
