Doar 15–20 de specialiști mai fac asta în muzeele din România. Ocupația, recunoscută oficial

Only 15-20 specialists currently work in Romanian museums as scientific investigators of cultural goods, a profession now recognized in the National Occupation Classification. This role, essential for cultural heritage research and protection, has received provisional code 262116. Despite its long-standing presence, the profession faced challenges due to a lack of official recognition and a dwindling workforce, as many specialists approach retirement. The introduction of this occupation in the classification aims to strengthen the profession and foster a new generation of experts, addressing the urgent need for skilled personnel and resources in conservation laboratories.
