What’s going on at the museum? Our conservator is cleaning a few objects for our upcoming exhibition “The Victorian Papered Wall.” This object, a bust of a woman, needed some light cleaning before going on display. Our conservator takes a sponge to dab away debris on the porous surface of the bust. Stay tuned for more sneak peeks and updates from the museum!

"When invited to exhibit at the inaugural "Elements" silver show in Edinburgh…my memories of the Periodic Table hung in my science classroom…sparked the idea to use them as the basis for my piece, executed with a mixture of precision and freedom that I hope characterizes all my work."
