The conservation of panoramas requires a new method allowing for a specific character of this kind of art, technical problems, the use of appropriate conservation agents and the organisation of an unusually large team of specialists in various fields. In recent years only five pictures of this kind have undergone thorough conservation, i.e. the Cyclorama of Gettysburg (1i08X9!,75 m2), the Panorama of Borodino (ca 11'5X 1:5 m), the Panorama of Salzlburg (ca 26 X 5,25 m), the Cyclorama of Atlanta (ca 106X13 m)„ the Panorama of the Versailles Palace and Gardens (ca 58X36 m). Each of these panoramas being in a different state of preservation, among other things, justified the use of totally diverse methods of conservation. All the methods employed so far, due to the scope of such a venture and no reference to the methods used in the conservation of standard pictures, have had no precedents. The problems of the conservation of panoramas, presented in this article relate to the characteristics of a panorama picture which, according to the author, determine the consecutive stages of the conservation work. The experience gathered from the conservation of other panoramas helped to avoid mistakes and to work out a coherent method of the conservation of the Racławice Panorama. Its conservation programme aimed to restore its original artistic entity. As regards the canvas, a three phase programme was adopted. At first the individual segments were initially treated in a horizontal position which made their suspension possible without the total reinforcement. In the second phase, the segments were suspended and in the third, they were merged into a whole picture. In the same position the overall doubling and the reconstruction of the paintwork were carried out. In the course of conservation the moist efficient and up-to-date agents were used, particularly in respect of reversability and age resistance. Since the Racławice Panorama Will be exhibited in a new building in Wrocław, it wais necessary to reconstruct the foreground of the painting reflecting the original Lvovian character of the Staffage. The new design was based on the iconographie and archival evidence. The staffage will match the painting faithfully in appearance and will be its logical extension.
