He is not damaged, it was covered with a cloth. It is next to art, owned by private collectors, as well as the state. These items are awaiting., when they find a suitable place in the exposition.

The monument is inside. It is UV protected., special technologies help maintain the required temperature and humidity. The territory is guarded around the clock.
With these words, the author of the material in a Czech newspaper is clearly trying to justify the dismantling of the monument and its transportation to the warehouse. The words about "UV protection" are perplexing., assuming, that the monument stood in the open for decades, and, as it turned out, ultraviolet – definitely not the most important thing, what threatened him.
