Renovation Marilyn Monroe and others

The Sex museum in Amsterdam has asked us to restore a wonderful figure. The figure in question is Marilyn Monroe, and was created by artist René de Broyer. In 1983/1984 he worked on a project which resulted in this wonderful figure, which closely resembles a wax figure.

We will be responsible for thoroughly cleaning and restoring Marilyn. Her clothes will be re-made and her hairpiece will be replaced by a special hand-knotted wig.

All other figures in the museum will also be cleaned thoroughly. One figure will be replaced. The figure in this case is a woman of ill repute who, in terms of quality and appearance, does not do justice to the rest of the museum. We will replace her with a lovely realistic figure.
