Behind the Scenes at the Gallery: Conservation to Display at Yale University Art Gallery
May 21 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Artworks often have stories beyond their creation, shaped by the care they’ve received over time. This gallery talk, led by Antonia Mappin-Kasirer, the Lehman Postgraduate Fellow in Objects Conservation, explores the complexities of preserving art through the lens of select objects with rich conservation histories.
The program takes place on May 21, 2025, at 12:30 pm at the Yale University Art Gallery, 1111 Chapel Street, New Haven, Connecticut. Through discussions that touch on restoration ethics, scientific analysis, and even tools like lichen and night-vision goggles, this tour offers a compelling look at what it means to maintain and present art for the public.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information, visit artgallery.yale.edu.
