This year the Philip Johnson Glass House (where I work) restored a piece Donald Judd's first concrete sculpture.  The preservation and history of the piece was covered extensively on our website: http://philipjohnsonglasshouse.org/preservationatwork/artrestoration/judd/  and visitors had the opportunity to see the conservators at work on-site.

Hello listers,

I’m interested in examples of museums and archives that have exhibited preservation and/or active conservation treatments. By that, I mean placed the actual processing or treatment “on display” – either physically or virtually – and included collections staff and conservators. Can anyone cite such a project and preferably provide a url?

 

NMAH’s Star Spangled Banner project comes close – but the actual treatment process was not on display.  The California Academy of Sciences Project Lab is an example of what I’m seeking - http://www.calacademy.org/academy/exhibits/projectlab/.

 

Thanks everyone!

-Karen
