Restauro
Restauro is restoration, and a room marked in restauro is closed or scaffolded for it. Rome's museums restore in public where they can, so a closed work is sometimes visible from a viewing point.
Example
A visitor checking the official page for in restauro notices before booking avoids paying a full Borghese slot for a room that is behind screens.
