Art on Paper, Museum Stories

Welcome to the Fitzwilliam Museum Conservation and Collections Care Blog!

The Fitzwilliam Museum has studios for the conservation of antiquities, applied arts, manuscripts and printed books, and works of art on paper and a scientific laboratory to carry out analysis on the collection.

The Museum’s paintings are conserved at The Hamilton Kerr Institute, which is also a department of the Museum. You can view their blog here.
