About this event
The same techniques museums use to care for artwork can help protect treasured items at home. Join paper conservator Kesha Talbert for a behind-the-scenes look at how conservators prepare works on paper for display. Learn about conservation-friendly approaches for displaying photographs, prints, and documents, and see how professional practices can be adapted for personal keepsakes.
