Have you ever wondered what happens in our conservation labs? Join members of our Straus Center staff for an informal monthly conversation about their work treating objects in our collections. Taking place just outside the Straus Center in the Lightbox Gallery, this presentation will give you the chance to get up close and hands-on with a selection of tools and materials used by conservation staff.
In this session, Penley Knipe, the Philip and Lynn Straus Senior Conservator of Works on Paper and head of the Paper Lab, will talk about the history of paper, including how it is made and what it can tell us about a work of art.
