Have you ever wondered what happens in our conservation labs? Join a member of our Straus Center staff for an informal 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 mending paper.


The Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies is a world leader in fine arts conservation, research, and training. The center’s laboratories are where conservation, conservation science, and curatorial practice intersect, coming together to enrich the understanding of and care for the approximately 250,000 objects in the Harvard Art Museums collections.


Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the program. Space is limited, and this program is available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
