Over the past 50 years, art conservation has developed dramatically, owing to targeted funding and the collaboration of allied fields in museums, archives, libraries, historical societies, and preservation of the built environment. This discussion looks back at the field’s recent history as well as its current approach, which focuses on collections care, improvements in environment and storage, sustainable practices, and respect for all cultural and documentary heritage.

Introductions by Kaywin Feldman, Director, National Gallery of Art and Steven Nelson, Dean, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts and moderated by Michelle Facini, Senior Paper Conservator, Paper Conservation, National Gallery of Art.
