The exhibition, Preserving a Legacy: Wishard Hospital Murals, is only open for one more month. If you haven’t been, you might miss out on the unique opportunity to see the in-progress conservation work on these beautiful Hoosier paintings.
Wishard Hospital Murals
When you walk into the exhibition, you are greeted by a rare glimpse of art conservation. The first painting you will see is Carl C. Graf’s Three Muses, which is presented in a partially conserved state. The left side of the painting has not yet been conserved and is obscured by dirt, discolored varnish, and heavy restorer’s overpaint. Walking into the gallery is like a behind-the-scenes visit to the conservation lab. Take a look for yourself in the image below.
