Painting Conservation: Behind the Scenes - Intro

Conservators are the invisible heroes behind our exhibitions at the museums. They juggle different aspects such as documentation, conservation treatments, exhibition liaison and support, condition checking, checking for pest and mould occurrences, environmental monitoring, outreach programme, reading the latest conservation updates, writing reports and research publications, and lots of thinking that goes in the pro­cess. Think that's a lot of work? Check out our exclusive series of 7 'behind the scenes' videos of what goes on in restoring the paintings for the Yeh Chi Wei Exhibition, currently showing at the Singapore Art Museum till 12 September 2010.
