Conservation slideshow

 

The League of Legends exhibition includes numerous trophies awarded over many years of the game. To prepare the trophies for public display and to help protect them in the long term, the National Museum's conservation team spent hundreds of hours working on the trophies. Each piece was cleaned and preserved, while the nuances of different materials and makers, and the character of each trophy's history, was retained.

The Winfield Cup

Winfield cup

The Winfield Cup, awarded to the premiers of the Australian and New South Wales Rugby League between 1982 and 1995, required minimal conservation treatment. The bronze surface ages gracefully and gains character with extra patina. Conservators simply gave this trophy a light dusting. Courtesy New South Wales Rugby League. Photo: Lannon Harley.
