i've been watching a lot of museum object conservation vids lately and i figured i'd share some of my favorites with anyone who might be interested. i'm gonna try to keep them all in one thread and add as i find more
first up: restoring a michaelangelo (the Met)
next, some cool object and garment conservation (AMNH)
some mosaics (Art Institute of Chicago)
repairing damage to a Rothko (Tate)
restoration of the salisbury cross (V&A)
rehousing a daguerreotype (MoMA)
(Nelson-Atkins) restoring an El Greco, i really love this conservator
restoring a cast of the portico de la gloria (V&A)
restoring a yves klein painting but also how texture affects how we see color (MoMA)
restoring old master drawings (getty)
it's been a hot minute since i updated this thread but here's a video of the conservation of a wall painting (more on the methods than the actual process but v fascinating) (english heritage)
