Tour of The Fine Arts Conservancy

Understanding the restoration process brings to life the Friends’ mission. To that end a group visited The Fine Arts Conservancy at their modern and spacious laboratory in West Palm Beach. Attendees learned about different techniques that a conservator can use in restoring works of art depending on the material of the object. Max Bernasconi, Paper and Book Conservator, gave an interactive demonstration on restoring books and guests were able to try their hand at one of the steps.
