Abstract(s)
In order to contribute to the knowledge concerning problems faced by those who complete a master’s degree in conservation-restoration and intend to enter the labor market, the Portuguese case is presented. Thus, the formative offer and the legislative requirements are introduced as well as a real situation in which the majority of works are treated by those who do not have sufficient education in conservation-restoration.
The article also discusses the lack of visibility of conservator-restorers and the image they have as artists when they are recognized. It is argued that this image leads to restoration being considered an activity that is accessible to all, an idea that is fed by numerous short courses, volunteer programs, and even some undergraduate and graduate courses that do not meet the basic requirements of ENCoRE.
Finally, the ways in which a conservator-restorer can enter the labor market as well as the changes that seem to be underway in this field are mentioned.
