About

The Art of Conservation offers a glimpse into the process of art conservation and shows visitors, how the experts at North East Museums, preserve and restore artworks to ensure their longevity and integrity. 

The Art of Conservation celebrates many artworks, some of which have never been on display, and shines a light on the vital work of conservation. This exhibition is a unique opportunity for the public to step behind the scenes and discover how art is preserved and protected.
