If you want to know how to look after your collections, or how conservators analyse, preserve and conserve cultural material, you are welcome to attend this free event. Learn how art and science merge with a behind the scenes tour of our secretive laboratories. Led by the second year students in the Master of Conservation Cultural Materials at the University of Melbourne, this promises to be a fascinating insight into the preservation of culture.
Meet in the foyer at the Potter and be taken on a series of lightning talks on selected works around the gallery. Then, head to the CCMC labs for a behind the scenes look at conservation science and practice.
Attendance is free but RSVP essential via the Ian Potter Museum of Art website.
Date: Friday, August 15 at 10 am
Venue: The Ian Potter Museum of Art, University of Melbourne.
