"And the heavens opened ... - The conservation and restoration of the illusionistic frescoes by Franz Eckstein in the Garrison Church of Saints Apostles Peter and Paul - the former Jesuit church in Lviv" is an exhibition that allows you to learn about the extraordinary skills of art conservators. It is a kind of invitation behind the scenes of the work of conservators, normally invisible to the eyes. Viewers can usually only admire the effect of painstaking and complicated conservation work. In addition to a wealth of photographic material, the exhibition is complemented by animation, bringing the frescoes to life and explaining their iconography, as well as VR materials that take you inside the temple.
