Our team is conducting a study on two wooden sculptures from the Isnard organ of the Madeleine Church in Aix-en-Provence.

This study aims to study the hygromechanical effect of a freezing pest control treatment. The monitoring device operates before, during and after the treatment in order to understand the impact of such a climatic shock on massive wooden sculptures.
