In case you haven’t heard, there was a big announcement that the IMA was awarded a major gift from the Lilly Endowment to start a Conservation Science Laboratory at the IMA. Needless to say, the whole department is pretty stoked!
I tried to think of a way to represent the announcement with some kind of image, but couldn’t come up with anything, so instead I made this. That pretty much sums up what I think about the news.
Today, though, I’m in Kansas City at the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art looking around. Yeah, just looking around at the art, inside and outside. I don’t often get to do this. But I’m here because the Midwest Regional Conservation Guild is convening its 28th Annual Meeting this weekend. For a long time the MRCG has been an important association for conservators in the Midwest – an organization for which I’ve been honored to be the Secretary/Treasurer for the past 4 years.
