Overview
With Gina Laurin, Associate Director of Conservation; Spencer Alred, Mountmaker Manager; Allison McCloskey, Senior Textile Conservator; and Aaron Burgess, Associate Objects Conservator.
How did the DAM conservation team care for artworks during closure and prepare them for their display in the Martin Building? Learn how one particular object "held up" amidst construction conditions in her own special climate-controlled “condo,” how conservators prepared artworks for their display in the new galleries, and just what “holds them up” throughout the building.
Plus, take a peek at the purpose-built Martin Conservation Laboratory to see where some of the magic happens.
