The Sigismund Chapel on Wawel Hill is undoubtedly an exceptional and most valuable structure in the style of Italian Renaissance created outside Italy. It has the higher monumental value that its sculpture decorations preserved their Renaissance form without major changes in the style. In the years 2002-2004 general renovation of the Chapel was carried out. An interdisciplinary team of specialist has done a tremendous job. The conservation raised great interest of conservation community not only in Europe but in the world. During the works the chapel was visited by Japanese conservators who earlier performed conservation of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican. The work of art of this rang required a thorough research as the source of information about itself. To read correctly this information a kind of .critical analysis. or checking of its trustworthiness had to be performed. The conservator-researcher must know if he deals with original message of the artist from ages ago, or with a destructed element, and maybe with a preparation distorting author.s intentions. Documented research and conservation works play this very important critical role providing for instance, art historians with a chance to step on relatively firm ground. This new conservator.s task of a researcher and a documentarian was only quite recently generally recognized and significantly complicated his work as he has to combine artistic competences with those of a researcher. Therefore, scientists with different specializations are often invited to join the team. Much effort was made in conservation of the Sigismund Chapel to fulfill these complex tasks. In effect, the chapel was restored to resemble as much as possible its original state, and at the same time all previous and new interferences in its structure were diligently documented. Contemporary and future researchers will have documentation providing trustworthy material for analysis. Cracow University of Technology conducted research and documentation of structural analysis of walls; their technical and technological construction was not known so far. Scientists from Optoelectronic Section of the Military University of Technology (WAT) used the laser method to clean surfaces of stone decorations. Precise measurements and digital calculations of the cupola were also made. They proved that is constitutes was designed on the ellipsoidal plan, not known earlier in European architecture. This justifies the statement that Bartolomeo Berecci was a pioneer in the use of Euclid.s geometry in Polish architecture. The scientists from WAT also performed and documented thermo-vision examination of inner and outer walls of the chapel. Colour thermo-visual image allowed to precisely determine localization of measurement points of the stream of warmth penetrating through construction ducts. At Geology, Geophysics and Environment Protection Department of the University of Science and Technology (AGH) comprehensive research of all stone materials was conducted, including petrographic identification of the grades of stone and a special artificial mineral material was developed for reconstruction of missing parts of decoration. The Conservatory Chemistry Section of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow performed and documented all necessary physical and chemical analyses and .Dephos. firm elaborated an innovative method of making an inventory of the chapel with laser scanning and computer processing in digital technology of the state of preservation and conservatory works executed. Extremely important historical information is preserved and kept for future generations of conservators in so called .documentation in the object. in the form of .witnesses. of old techniques, renovation technologies and historical materials sciences.
