Abstract EN
The conservation of historical buildings in developed countries has been very common, well carried out, and accumulated a wealth of experience.
Conversely, the developing countries do not have this experience, qualified experts or professionals to handle the restoration process of historical buildings independently.
So, unless the developing countries received comprehensive support from the related cultural societies and institutions in developed countries for the conservation of its historical heritage, many problems will arise and excessive sums of money will be incurred.
The Omani–French museum is a case in point.
Through discussing the renovation process of the aforesaid building- as a case study- this paper will highlight some critical issues such as the importance of involving an integrated team of highly qualified professionals.
The precautions to maintain the wellbeing of the building against any further problems arising or required modifications must also be included in the mission of the said team.
Authentic treatment of historical buildings must be highly considered, taking in consideration the new standards of rehabilitating process.
Any modern techniques or plants needed must be added with great care to blend with the essence of the original environment.
