After years of careful restoration work that began in 2023, the Gallo-Roman wall paintings from Genainville will be officially revealed on Saturday, October 10, at 11 a.m. at the Val-d'Oise Archaeological Museum in Guiry-en-Vexin. This event is part of the departmental program for the Fête de la Science, a French science festival, and aims to allow art lovers and history enthusiasts to see the results of this significant project. Visitors will also have the opportunity to learn about the detailed restoration of the 14 painted panels, each more than 5 meters high and 7 meters long. The museum will remain open for free visits throughout the day on Sunday, October 11, with different time slots designed for children, teenagers, and general audiences. A special workshop will be held on fresco painting techniques, allowing both children and adults to experience painting in the Roman style. This hands-on activity offers a unique way to engage with ancient artistic traditions. The restoration project, described as both colossal and meticulous, was carried out by the specialists at the Centre d'Étude des Peintures Murales Romaines (CEPMR) in Soissons. According to the museum's Facebook page, the 14 restored panels were assembled like the pieces of a giant puzzle, with each panel requiring specific, unique cuts. These cuts demanded millimeter-precise adjustments to ensure the continuity of the decoration between the panels. The museum explained that aligning the panels and adjusting the joints was essential to restore the overall visual coherence of the artwork. This painstaking process ensured that the entire set of panels regained the intended appearance and reading, as described in detail on the museum's social media platform. The unveiling marks a significant achievement in preserving and showcasing ancient Roman art for future generations.
