Öt restaurátorműhely mutatkozott be a „Restaurált múkincsek" című kiállításon. Maradandó tudományos hozadéka, hogy tárgyakkal, életrajzokkal, a restaurátori munka ismertetésével megjelent a restaurátor kiállítás DVD-je, korszerű adathordozón, 21. századi igényeknek megfelelően. A DVD nem csak fotókon, szövegekkel mutatja be a múzeum restaurátorainak munkáját, de szerepelnek rajta az Esterházy-kincstár néhány sérült tárgyának 3D rekonstrukciói, valamint egy teljes dokumentumfilm. A Műhelytitkok c. dokumentumfilmet Dénes Zoltán készítette, 2012-ben a 43. Magyar Filmszemlén is bemutatták. A „Műhelytitkok" című film elvezet a múzeum, látogatók által nem bejárható zugaiba.

There are innumerable treasures lying in the Museum's stores. Few of them are in a condition to be exhibited without some preparatory work. Museum visitors can have no idea of what some exhibited items looked like when they first arrived in the Museum. Sometimes a thorough cleaning is enough, but more often, even very valuable art works are received in a degraded, fragmented state. Pieces that have survived Mongol, Ottoman, Austrian and Russian invasions or the ravages of fire, water and time, are reborn in the restorers' workshops. Like a magician, the restorer takes things that are incomplete, fraying, broken, smashed or scratched, be they ceramic pots, clothes, furniture, goldsmith's work or little personal objects, and makes them new again. Of course it is not magic, but the fruit of extensive knowledge of materials and technology, artistic humility, and of course much time and patience. In 2008 and 2009, the Museum revealed in an exhibition the things that are usually hidden from museum visitors. Five restoration workshops presented their work under the title "Restored art treasures". The restoration profession also benefited from the exhibition through a DVD on the work of the Museum's restorers, with biographies and extensive photographs of the exhibits, as well as 3D reconstructions of some damaged items from the Esterházy Treasury. Also included is Zoltán Dénes's full-length documentary Műhelytitkok (Workshop secrets), which delves into nooks and crannies of the Museum never seen by visitors. The documentary was shown at the 43rd Hungarian Film Festival in 2012.
