Overview
- Aragón has filed three technical reports proposing to dismantle the murals into 72 individually handled fragments and complete the transfer to Sijena in seven months.
- The MNAC contests Aragón’s findings with its own reports, denies current humidity or contamination issues in Sala 16, and warns that cutting the works would cause irreversible losses.
- The court refused the MNAC’s request for a pericial report by Spain’s cultural heritage institute (IPCE), keeping the execution within the existing judicial process.
- The judge excluded the Generalitat from the execution phase after reversing an earlier acceptance of its personation, concluding it lacks standing as a party to the judgment.
- Separately, the judge authorized the Sijena municipality to question MNAC technicians and view storerooms for possible related works, a step the museum brands unlawful in a bid for revocation.
