(Luca Bruno, File/Associated Press)MILAN — Restorers at Milan’s famous Brera Art Gallery have taken measures to protect the collection after its humidity control system failed during a “once-in-a-decade” dry, cold spell that moved through Milan last weekend, officials said. Museum officials immediately moved in mobile humidifiers and started applying the rice paper patches onto the works. The Brera Gallery is housed in an imposing Baroque palazzo that also is home to several other Milan cultural institutions.
