After the final 3 sets had been transported to GEM-CC, the fumigation expert worked with the mural painting team on investigating the mural paintings and getting rid of any infestation in them.
First, the mural paintings are quarantined with tent to detect any active infestation. Then, nitrogen gas is purged in the quarantining tent replacing oxygen. And so, the fumigation process starts.
After fumigation, the mural paintings team will start applying the conservation plan that best suits each set, to be safely displayed at GEM for many more years to come.
