Abstract. The problem of restoring destroyed and lost works of art as a national heritage is relevant and requires an urgent solution.
The article is devoted to the consideration of modern experimental practices of renovation of lost stained glass windows.
The author shares his own experience of implementing a project to renovate stained glass windows by the famous Kharkiv artist O.F. Pronin, which adorned the Kharkiv National University of Urban Economy named after O.M. Beketov and were lost due to military events.
Stained glass renovation is considered through the use of innovative methods that go beyond traditional approaches.
It is assumed that the authenticity of the stained glass window will be preserved or its modern reinterpretation will be provided, depending on the author’s intention and the purpose of the renovation.
Keywords: stained glass, restoration, renovation, experimental practices.
