In the Bagan area in Myanmar, two earthquakes (1975 and 2016) occurred, causing damage to a number of architectural remains such as temple, stupa, and international efforts are being made to restore them. This study is conducted as a basic survey to identify the damage status of the mural paintings in the Bagan area and establish a preservation plan. Twenty five buildings having the murals were selected to investigate the structure and damage types of mural paintings, and analyzed the damage factors. According to the survey, the Myanmar Bagan murals are classified into four types according to the materials and methods of building each floor based on the structure composed of the rendering layer, ariccio layer, intonaco layer, and painting layer. The first type is made only from the mud intonaco. The second type is made of the rendering layer as mud plaster and the ariccio and intonaco layer as lime plaster. The third type is made of a layer of mud plaster on the base between the rendering and intonaco layers of lime plaster, while the fourth type is made up of only lime plaster. The types of these murals were shaped differently according to the period of construction, building type, the period of repair. The mural damage status was largely divided into three types : physical damage caused by earthquakes, long accumulated deterioration of materials, and artificial damage caused by repair materials used in previous recovery operations. The investigation has shown that damage to the Myanmar murals is a combination of three types, and that they are highly correlated with the material and structural characteristics of the murals as well as earthquake damage. Although this survey was based on the basis of the field investigation, it is believed that comprehensive research should be carried out to identify the materials and to establish the preservation methods of the Burgan remains in Myanmar through more precise investigation and analysis.
