Art Conservation Institute

"The New Valamo Monastery has a long tradition of cultural activities. The old monastery may have be known for its provinciality, but the monks of Valamo maintained workrooms devoted to iconpainting, photography and bookbinding for centuries. Monks were also in the practice of copying manuscripts in their quarters."
