We want to highlight a new approach that permits a different result from the one usually obtained in the Museum´s practice, where reconstruction and restitution became more important than conservation. Framed within minimal intervention guidelines, our proposal has as goals both the preservation of the vehicle original layout as well as its technical and historical values.engIndustrial heritageTramsConservationMinimal interventionTechnical valueHistorical valueconference object
