Explore the Condition of this artwork.
A condition assessment of the monument was conducted by McKay Lodge Conservation Laboratory. They found several condition issues some originating from the poor quality of the original cast and others due to climate. The condition problems included casting porosity, patches and plugs, chill cracks, weaknesses in armature, and a general need for cleaning. In 2013 the Restore Kosciuszko Monument Project successfully raised funds to fully restore the monument. The statue was rededicated on November 11, 2013.
