Satisfied faces with the grand committee that discusses the State of the Atlas, in consequence of the report of Judith Geerts and Jean-Marieke Poot. Their report gives cause to careful optimism. For the State is not that bad. Yes, there is wear and tear and there are false folds and dirt, but for its age, the Atlas is in pretty good state.
The committee is happy with the findings, yet remains cautious. They will ask for a second opinion of external experts. Both analyses will help to make an estimate of the costs of cleaning and repair.
