Conservation Up Close: An Introduction

Learn what conservators and conservation scientists do every day to care for the artworks in MFA Boston’s encyclopedic collections. See the current case displays exploring the use of blue colorants and hear about some of the projects that are visible through glass windows. Get a sense of the range of activities, from mountmaking and cleaning, to repair and treatments, in the Henderson Conservation Learning Center, a space dedicated to inquiry, learning, and dialogue between visitors and conservators.
