Along the same lines, the Phoenix Art Museum did a show on conservation
of art work. I was really excited to go and see the exhibit, because
conservation has always been an interest of mine. Once I got there though
I was disappointed to find that the supporting text and displays were geared
more toward elementary school children. It was informative, but I wish they
would have thought about adults too!
