Join curator Dr Lucy Davis for a behind-the-scenes glimpse of our conservation treatment on a group of our miniatures. With conservator Alan Derbyshire, she will discuss how they were made, their unique qualities as objects and how they can be preserved for future generations.

To see more of these small-scale masterpieces join Lucy Davis for January's Meet the Expert talk, where we will be taking a closer look at some of the miniatures in the Wallace Collection: youtu.be/fDo3SLLkczg
