When repairs are done by a museum, they want the repair to be evident but not too distracting. Mainly, they want the viewer to know that the object has been damaged (sometimes severely), but is still lovely (or whatever).
The other requirement is that any repair be reversible -- partly in case newer, better repair techniques come along, but mainly so that the original object is not permanently altered by the repair . . .
