Explore the art and science of museum conservation with Oriental Institute conservator Alison Whyte. Learn about the history of art conservation and how the discipline has evolved over time. Explore preventive techniques used by conservators to stop, or at least delay, the deterioration of art objects. Gain insight into the cutting edge analytical techniques used by conservators to examine works of art. Finally, get a glimpse of the step by step process of an actual conservation treatment.
