THE SCIENCE OF ART:

What happens in a conservation lab? How do conservators, curators and collections managers work together to preserve our heritage? Why is it important to understand the materials and its interaction with the environment?

Meet our conservators and conservation scientists to explore these questions further as they walk you through the corridors of the conservation laboratories. Discover the science behind the complex restoration techniques and gain a deeper understanding of the material aspects of artworks and artefacts in our care. Join us in a journey of exploration and discovery!
