Meet our expert conservators, in person or online.

Looking for guidance on how to care for your musical instruments, manuscripts, or heirlooms? We’re here to help! Conservators are the caretakers behind the scenes of museums, preserving cultural heritage so it can be enjoyed for generations to come. 

From 12–2pm, stop by our table in the atrium (just outside the HÂþ»­ Museum and Library)! Come and chat with our team and even pick up some tips on caring for your own treasured items.

*Please note that we will only be offering advice on care of items during drop-in sessions and cannot perform physical repairs. Object donations will not be accepted. Thank you for your understanding.

INSTAGRAM TAKEOVER!
Tuesday 4 November, 12-4pm
