Restoration for 'Freedom' Murals at Archives
July 31, 2002
By CELESTINE BOHLEN

States Constitution are big subjects for an artist, and big
is certainly the word for the two giant murals - each
measuring more than 34 feet long and almost 13 feet high -

National Archives building here.
The murals were commissioned in 1934 as background for the
nation's most precious documents: the Declaration of
Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,
collectively called the charters of freedom, which in an
average year are seen by a million or so visitors.
The murals' execution and installation was a mammoth
effort, and the meticulous restoration they are now
undergoing in a studio in northern Virginia is no less
elaborate a job. (continued at link below.....)
