Abstract:

On the basis of the previous examinations of the historical windows of the main building of the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts by the authors [1] using a certified software package, the multi-variant analysis of the methods of increasing efficiency of the existing translucent structures was conducted. The recommendations for restoration of the historical translucent structures which are the parts of this state-protected cultural heritage object were developed.
