A detailed material testing was carried out before the conservation project of the János Arany statues of Garden of Hungarian National Museum. The scope of the testing to analyse the corrosion products on the surface and help to develop the best cleaning and protection practice. Samples were taken from more areas and the samples were analysed by SEM-EDS, XRD, FT-IR methods. This article introduces the results of the testing and the relevant effect to the conservation process.
