When artworks reach the scale of the monumental and beyond, then the question of conservation treatment becomes somewhat irrelevant. And this raises an interesting relationship between size and conservation methodology. It can be surmised that the scale of construction of an artefact would affect and impact on the choice of conservation treatments. However, to what extent? And more specifically - how? Such an explanation or exposition could perhaps help to make sense of the diverse concerns in the field of conservation such as museum artefacts, architectural, sites, monuments and even intangible heritage and digital materials.
