This informal presentation series brings the work of the Department of Conservation & Scientific Research out into the gallery spaces. Members of the department will present a new topic every month, giving a glimpse into the variety of work that goes on in the laboratory, from materials identification to conservation methods. This series will also offer a hands-on exploration of materials and the opportunity for visitors to ask our experts questions.
