Speaker: Colleen Snyder, Conservator of Objects Have you ever wondered how artworks in the CMA’s collection are cared for? Join CMA conservators and technicians for guided tours of the galleries. Investigate artists’ materials and processes and learn about how the museum preserves artworks for the future. Objects have been described by one conservator as “reluctant witnesses” to history. While they may be tricky to uncover, there are fascinating stories hidden within the material layers of artworks. This session focuses on what conservation research and analysis can tell us about the material origins and manufacturing processes of ancient artists and how we use some of those same techniques to determine if some ancient artifacts are reproductions or forgeries.
