CLEAN : Rijksmuseum starts restoration of Rembrandt's 'The Night Watch'

The video tutorial discusses the restoration and conservation of the Night Watch painting. Initially, the painting is set up on a specially made table, and the canvas is prepared for restoration. The process involves removing deformations and replacing the old wooden frame with an aluminium one to maintain stability. High-resolution photographs were taken for research and public engagement, allowing people to explore the painting in detail, especially during the museum's closure due to the pandemic. The conservation efforts aim to preserve the painting's integrity and ensure its longevity.
