Restoring the Past showcases the meticulous conservation treatment of three significant nineteenth‑century paintings and their ornate frames, including the portraits of Thomas and Catherine Chapman and a landscape by John Glover. The exhibition offers a rare behind‑the‑scenes insight into the technical processes and research that preserve Tasmania’s artistic heritage.
Led by Jenny Bird, Lisa Charleston and Kate McKay who developed the exhibition, the floor talk will explore the balance of science, craftsmanship and interpretation that underpins conservation practice.
Details, including how to RSVP will be circulated via email to AICCM members in Tasmania.
