Conservation Window

Visitors can watch Walters conservators work on active conservation projects and speak with them as they work in a small studio adjacent to the museum’s laboratories. The Conservation Window offers a behind-the-scenes look at the care of the Walters’ historic collection, with connections to art, science, history, and culture.

The Walters’ Conservation and Technical Research Department was established in 1934 and is the third-oldest museum laboratory in the United States. Outside the scheduled live sessions, visitors can still view a display about an ongoing conservation project through the window during regular museum hours.
