MICHELLE BERRY
Object conservation
TMAG’s Senior Conservator, Objects, Michelle Berry will present an introduction to the specialist field of object conservation, drawing on her own career and experiences as an object conservator. This will be followed by a discussion of the work of the object conservators on the recently opened Islands to Ice exhibition and a walk through the exhibition.
This floor talk is limited to 30 attendees. Michelle will speak to the full group in the members’ lounge, and will then take us in two groups of 15 through Islands to Ice, so you will have plenty of opportunity to ask questions as we move through the exhibition.
