Edit request
I would like to suggest a few edits to this page, for accuracy and to update it a little (I think the last content updates were done in c. 2015):

- Opening paras have inaccuracies. Possible edits (not including footnotes):

Factum Arte is a company based in Madrid, Milan, and London that seeks to construct a bridge between new technologies and craft skills in the conservation of cultural heritage and in contemporary art.[1] Its commercial activity involves assisting contemporary artists to create technically difficult and innovative works of art.[8] It also seeks to promote the use of non-contact 3D digitisation technologies to record museum collections and historic monuments, especially in areas where these are at risk.[3] Since Since 2009, Factum Arte's non-profit cultural heritage projects have been carried out through the Factum Foundation for Digital Technology in Conservation.

In addition to recording objects, Factum Arte is able to use digital data to create an exact facsimile of an object on a scale of 1:1.[4] In 2014, Factum Foundation completed the installation of an exact facsimile of the tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, near Howard Carter’s house. The facsimile, and its proximity to the original tomb, is intended to provoke a debate about preservation;[5][6] as Factum Arte's Director, Adam Lowe, was said: "The tomb of Tutankhamun was built to last for eternity, but it wasn't built to be visited".[7]

Over the years, Factum Arte and Factum Foundation have worked with institutions such as the British Museum in London, the Musée du Louvre in Paris, the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, the Museo del Prado in Madrid, and the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt.

- There has been a lot of media coverage of Factum Arte and Factum Foundation since this page was last updated. Some of this might be helpful to add, maybe to replace some of the existing links to pages on Factum Arte and Factum Foundation's websites:
