National Museum of American History
Conserving Collections: Problems and Solutions
May 1, 1984 – August 31, 1984
See objects illustrating a variety of conservation problems, from a baby's jacket faded by light to a tarnished candlestick and an example of cracked glass. Prevention, at home and in museums, is stressed and some remedies are discussed.
Organized by members of AMSTA, the Association of Museum Specialists and Technicians, the exhibit coincides with the June 1984 meeting of the American Association of Museums.
