Conservation

An introduction to Conservation will look at how conservation specialists preserve the Museum’s Collection through a combination of preventive, interventive and analytical techniques. By understanding a wide range of materials found in archaeological, historical and contemporary works, and the mechanisms by which objects deteriorate, Conservation will demonstrate how they can address their stabilisation and long-term preservation. 

They use a combination of old and new techniques. Some conservation practice is grounded in long-standing tradition, and they also innovate and develop new conservation techniques and approaches.
