Rebuilding the Parthenon in Greece may seem like a giant jigsaw puzzle, but what do you do when the pieces are too heavy to pick up? Quentin Cooper talks to Thanassos Velios, a student of art conservation who has been reconstructing the columns in a virtual world. Cooper also meets Pedro Gaspar , William Lindsay and Graham Martin behind the scenes at the Victoria and Albert Museum. What contribution is science making to the conservation of our art treasures?
