Lindsey our Fine Art Curator will provide training on how to carefully handle and dust the paintings, check and record their condition, and use our collections database to update their new location.
The training will be informal and you will have tea breaks and a nice time getting to know each other. The weekly sessions will be on a rota which will be defined by you, so you will need to work out between you who does which week so that it is fair for everyone.
What's involved?

Informal training to learn about collections care including object handling, cleaning and documentation.
-
Dusting the picture frames using a soft brush and museum vacuum cleaner.
