Conservation
The treatment of the painting collection is supervised
by Norman Muller, conservator, in the museum’s conservation
studio.
The conservation needs of the departments of Prints and Drawings,
Photography, Ancient and Asian art are performed by private
conservators with specialized expertise, working under the guidance
of the museum conservator. Every other year the conservator
offers a course on the history of Western painting materials
and techniques to undergraduate and graduate students in the
Department of Art and Archaeology. Interns are accepted periodically
from recognized conservation training programs.
Support for conservation projects has been given through by
grants from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the National Endowment
for the Arts, and the Institute for Museum Services, the latter
two federal agencies. The conservation studio was made possible
by a generous gift from the Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Charitable
Trust.
Volume 59 of the Record
of the Princeton University Art Museum is devoted to
the conservation program at Princeton. |
