----------------------Announcing Restoration Online----------------
The Minneapolis Institute of Art's Restoration Online exhibition presents the perspectives of curators, conservators and visitors regarding the process of restoring Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione's 17th century painting: The Immaculate Conception with Saints Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua. This project is the online extension of a unique physical exhibition , "Restoring a Masterwork'" which allows the public to observe restoration process exhibit from September 14 through November 7, 1999 in the Institute's galleries.

The site's "Daily Log" provides up-to-date text, photo and video documentation of the ongoing restoration process. "What's Wrong with This Painting?" takes you behind the scenes to discover what happens to a painting over time. "Frequently Asked Questions" gives you the answers you seek. "The Life of the Painting" traces this work's history from the 1500s.
