The Fitzwilliam Museum is pleased to have launched its Conservation and Collections Care blog.

The new blog will enable Conservators, Technicians, Conservation Scientists and Collections Care experts, working on the rich collections of the Museum, to share some of their behind the scenes activities.

In the most recent post, Christine Slottved Kimbriel (Senior Painting Conservator at the Hamilton Kerr Institute) discusses aspects of the work undertaken over the last two years in preparation for the Madonnas and Miracles exhibition, which provided a welcome opportunity to carry out much needed conservation treatment on important works from the Museum’s paintings collection.
