And now that I think more about it, Burpee Museum of Natural History in Rockford IL also has their fossil prep room open for visitors to observe.

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!
