Virtual Member Coffee Chat: Ask a Conservator Day

Ever wonder what secrets lie beneath the surface of ancient art—or what it takes to preserve millennia-old treasures? In celebration of Ask a Conservator Day, join this special virtual chat with conservators Ahmed Tarek and Sara Bone, in conversation with curator Yekaterina Barbash.

Together they’ll pull back the curtain on the fascinating world of conservation, from handling delicate papyrus scrolls to uncovering hidden details with the lightest touch. Tarek and Bone will share highlights of their craft, answer questions, and take us behind the scenes of their recent work on a newly restored, exceptionally rare gilded Book of the Dead papyrus.

Free; registration is required. Registration details will be emailed to Members. Not a Member? Join today!
