Exhibition: Conservation in Focus

Suite 101 (Stan Parchin)

Visitors to "Conservation in Focus" at London's British Museum are able to watch how experts prepare works of art before they are exhibited.

Conservation in Focus (September 11-October 26, 2008) at the British Museum permits visitors to observe and interact with conservators whose actual work is largely unseen by the public until it's completed. Experts demonstrate the procedures, techniques and instruments they use on objects from the museum's permanent collection.
