Thanks to the initiative of Prof. Jozef Edward Dutkiewicz, PhD, in 1951 an Institute was established at he Department of Conservation of Works of Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. The task of this school was instruction in the field of conservation of wall paintings in situ, as well as problems of their transfer. On the basis of these traditions, all basic lines of activity are continued until today. The Institute's organizational from today and the work carried out in it are a reflection of the goals that were taken up in the 1950's and 1960's. The Institute consists of seven organizational units conducting didactic, documentation and scientific work in their specializations. They are the following: the Laboratory of Wall Paintings conducting classes with students of the first years on imitation paintings in the laboratory, and in the summer season working on original paintings in churches and other historical buildings. Usually, this work is carried out in the Lower Silesia and in the Jelenia Gora and Legnica voivodeships. After the last year of studies, before beginning work on the thesis leading to a degree, there are practical studies on paintings in Northern Italy in the provinces of Brescia and Mantua. The second laboratory deals exclusively with the problems of transferring wall paintings. Thanks to its measures, many paintings have been saved, otherwise doomed to total destruction. Also, several solutions have been drawn up in the field of forming substitute bases and the ability to maintain the original surface and irregularities of the painting that has been taken down. In 1971 the Laboratory for the Conservation of Stone and Rock Sculpture was created, dealing with conservation of small forms of architectonic sculpture, such as the Romanesque and Gothic portals in churches of the Lower Silesia. The Laboratory of Inventory of Wall Paintings and Architectonic Sculpture is a laboratory where various forms of documentation are carried out through all the years of study at the department. This consists od measuring-drawing documentation, colour documentation and documentation obtained by photogrammetric methods. It concerns the inventory of structures according to their state of preservation and registration of executed conservation measurse. As part od student tasks, permanent inventories are undertaken in this laboratory, concerning discovered structures in the process of restoration of the old town in Cracow. The Archives functioning within the institute are a unit gathering in its collections much documentation on inventory and conservation work taking place at the Department and concerning paintings and sculpture originating from southern Poland. This is an important and frequently utilized source of information on the state and past appearance of many Polish art structures.
