• Resumen

  • Osteological materials have been used as teaching tools in the art academies and schools since the Italian Renaissance. This paper focuses on the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon (FBAUL) osteological collection, which includes almost two hundred bone elements: human and non-human, articulated and disarticulated, whole or in fragments.

    However, this material was found disconnected from its intangible aspects and values, with no documentation related and exposed to unfavourable conditions to its preservation. In order to assign its inherent values, an inventory has been made as well as the development of a set of preservation practices and procedures most suitable for a collection of this kind.
