Then consider your views on the questions again now you have completed the course. Make some notes in the box below about if and how your views have changed.
- Can restoration ever make anything ‘as good as it was before’?
- Can nature or buildings ever be restored and not faked?
- Should objects be restored to ‘as good as new’?
- Is it always better to have an original than it is to have a copy?
- If it is impossible to have the original, is a copy better than nothing?
- Is a preference for originals, even if they are perceptually indiscernible from copies, just a matter of snobbery?
