As a centre for study and research, the Museu Frederic Marès works constantly on two fronts. First, in the area of documentation, it promotes the art historical study of its works with the main goal of ensuring that its collections are catalogued in their entirety. The other field of endeavour, connected to its Department of Preventive Conservation and Restoration, is to conduct physical and chemical analyses of its works according to their restoration needs, a crucial means to support their historical documentation.
