Abstract

This article aims to describe the study carried out of the acquis of contemporary medals of the Volte Face-Contemporary Medal, the former research unit of the Research and Studies Centre in Fine Arts (CIEBA) at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon. They researched on the history of the Volte Face – Contemporary Medals group and the experimental work developed in the study of medallic art. This experimental path led to the appearance of medals with different shapes and sizes, craft in materials of different origins, namely organic (wood, honeycombs, parts of animals), synthetic (plastic, acrylic, wood panels) and inorganic (ceramic and metal), whose characteristics have revealed themselves as a challenge for the acquis conservation and packaging.
