Inspection of Rain-Damaged Ninots at Hogueras Museum Reveals Severe Deterioration
Technicians assess damage caused by leaks at Alicante's Hogueras Museum, where preserved figures suffered serious damage, including one decapitation.
The Hogueras Museum in Alicante has begun a thorough inspection of the pardoned ninots affected by water leaks. Recent rains caused significant damage to the collection of preserved figures from the festival.
Among the most serious damage is a completely decapitated figure, according to museum sources. Technicians are assessing the full extent of the damage to determine which pieces can be restored.
The museum houses the pardoned ninots from the Hogueras de San Juan festival over decades, representing an important cultural heritage of the city. Authorities are working to resolve the structural problems that allowed the leaks.
The inspection and restoration process is expected to continue over the coming weeks while preventive measures are implemented to avoid future incidents.
