About this event

Windows of the past - Glass Conservation at the Museum.

Join Collections Curator Issy Bloomfield to hear about our Glass Conservation Project which allowed us to conserve three historic windows in the collection. This talk will give you a glimpse of how we care for the items in our collection: learn more about the objects, their history and what we have uncovered through research; find out the process of how museums can clean and look after glass items; and hear what the conservators did to ensure the long term stability of these beautiful windows.
