Synthesis of Science and Art: Scientific Restorationof Franz Reuleaux’ Engineering Collection

The preservation of scientific and technical heritage within museum space is impossible without restoration technologies. The conservation of polytechnic-type exhibits represents a pressing demand, as evidenced by recent surveys of museum professionals and administrators, which identified the restoration of archival and exhibition collections as their foremost priority. This article examines case studies in reconstructing damaged kinematic models from Franz Reuleaux’ collection, systematically analyzing diverse approaches to restoring such polytechnic artifacts. The authors demonstrate how emerging additive technologies significantly expand traditional conservation capabilities while addressing the reproduction of museum copies, replicas, and tactile models through innovative methods. The restoration of Reuleaux’s museum objects necessitated intense interdisciplinary collaboration among specialists spanning technical, humanistic, educational, and cultural domains. The project’s outcomes include: the reintegration of previously storage-bound Reuleaux collection items – deemed unfit for display due to significant losses and poor condition – into BMSTU’s permanent exhibition, and new digital communication tools, used in restoration, for promoting Reuleaux’ engineering heritage among museum visitors and specialists with varying levels of expertise and professional backgrounds.
