In 2014, an explosion happened in the Cairo Security Directorate building in front of the Museum of Islamic Art, causing damage to some displayed objects, especially the glass ones. The explosion caused overlapof the archaeological glass pieces with the non-archaeological glass pieces which are attributed to the showcases and windows of the museum. In addition, the non-damaged glass monuments were unsafe and needed to be protected to move to a safe place.
The first step for the conservation of the non-damaged glass monuments was to pack and move the objects to the store. On the other hand, the damaged glass objects were collected carefully then put in boxes and moved to the conservation lap to separate the archaeological pieces away from non-archaeological pieces depending on the previous documentation.
The restoration process of the damaged objectshas been started by documentation,examination by SEM and LM, analysis by EDX and XRF, cleaning, assembling,and finally completion of the process.This Paper is a case study for the restoration of damaged glass objects.
