How do you prepare a painting, photograph, or document for display? In this conservation cart talk, learn about the different ways conservators mount two-dimensional works of art in window mats so they can be safely framed and displayed. After an exhibition, these same mats keep works safe in storage. Join Valeria Pesce, the Gretchen and David Welch Conservator in Training, to explore the materials and techniques conservators use to mount works of art.
