Conserving Colour with the Conservation team

A talk by Bristol Museums' conservation team exploring how conservators preserve and understand colour in museum collections.

Bristol Museums conservators discuss the practical, technical and ethical challenges of preserving colour in museum objects, using examples from the exhibition and wider collections. Topics include rare mineral pigments, pigments used on Egyptian mummies, varnish, and how original colours change over time. The talk is linked to The Secret Life of Colour exhibition, with entry included in the ticket price.
