Karen,

Colonial Williamsburg last year had an exhibit, "Conservation -Where Art
and Science Meet" and it runs through this Sept. They have also given
weekly lab tours for years and both the curators and conservators have
given gallery tours with their perspectives on the collections.

Cheers!
Dave
