With Alexandra Greathead. Conservation Manager specialising in works on paper
In this limited-capacity Members exclusive tour, you'll learn how a Paper Conservator preserves and prepares works on paper, for both upcoming exhibitions, and long-term collection storage.
We aim to give you an insight into the daily activities and overarching role our Paper Conservators play within the Museum. From in-depth analysis, supporting research projects and teaching, to ensuring these delicate works on paper are protected for future generations, you'll get a first-hand glimpse into their important work on the collections.
