CollectionsLAB
Visit the brand-new CollectionsLAB – an observation studio within the museum galleries where visitors can watch experts examine and care for the collection up close.
The collections management team demonstrates how objects from the museum’s collection are restored and preserved. Collection management is an ongoing process of care, vision and accessibility, with the aim of passing on the collection to future generations in good condition and well documented. Discover the techniques and materials needed to preserve heritage. Conservators demonstrate how science and craftsmanship come together, with respect for the original material and the story behind each object. The team works in this space at certain times throughout the week. Are the doors open? Come in, ask questions and discover the scientific work behind the museum.
