Description
Not all science happens behind the scenes! Ever wondered how museums preserve objects and keep them ready for public display?
The objects in the Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room are undergoing conservation assessment and treatment. Stop by gallery 26 on Wednesday mornings through March 27, 2024, to see one of our conservators at work, ask questions, and learn how we care for the collections.
