In 1991 in Sweden, the Livrustkammaren, Skoklosters Slott and
Hallwyska Museet mounted an exhibition "Bevarandets Hemlightet" (The
Secret of Preservation Revealed).  This was an excellent temporary
exhibition on Textile, Paper and Metal conservation.  A catalogue
was produced which is called "Bevarandets Hemlightet"
