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.
