We analyzed the pigments used by Moser in this painting using a portable X-ray fluorescence scanning system, allowing us to visualize the distribution of chemical elements on the surface without needing to remove a sample. #BkMConservation

Inspired by #EarthDay, read a discussion between conservators Ellen Nigro, Natalya Swanson, and Kate Wight Tyler on the use of repurposed and recycled materials in artworks and the overlap between Environmental and Art Conservation. https://t.co/7k28trcaMo #BKMConservation

In preparation for its display in Jeffrey Gibson: When Fire Is Applied to a Stone It Cracks, #BKMConservation needed to clean the bronze relief of Charles Rumsey’s Study for Buffalo Hunt which had been previously displayed for years outdoors. https://t.co/L5h3Zk5HOV
What better way to start off the week than with a #BKMInterns success story? Head to https://t.co/KLNWtGNelj to learn how Maribel Vitagliani—who completed the @Citi paid internship program in 2018—made the jump from intern to full-time staff in our #BKMConservation lab.
Sometimes artists forget to sign their work. Luckily, when the artist is living we can still invite them in for their signatures. This recently happened with two new acquisitions from Fab 5 Freddy and Constance Beaty. https://t.co/ctd6f815mH #BKMConservation
Great @nytimes weekend read about the WWII era Monuments Men, one of which was the Brooklyn Museum's first conservators Sheldon Keck. More on Keck and his wife and fellow conservator Caroline over at https://t.co/9OPMOAJ87m #BKMConservation
A new U.S. Army reserve group, inspired by the Monuments Men of the World War II era, will aim to protect antiquities and important cultural sites in war zones https://t.co/LT4wj07Gfk
Our Director's Circle Members were treated to an exclusive tour of two ancient Egyptian Books of the Dead. The tour began with a curator-led tour on the artifact's importance and origin, then led to #BKMConservation to learn about preservation practices. https://t.co/cZVhqcKPSG
This ancient Egyptian stela got a 21st century cleaning in the #BKMConservation lab. Learn more at https://t.co/ctd6f815mH
Artist Constance P. Beaty came by #BKMConservation to sign her portrait of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg before it was installed last week. See it now on view in our #BKMAmericanart galleries. https://t.co/ctd6f815mH
#BKMConservation have spent the last 18 months treating six of our Assyrian reliefs. Now after documenting, cleaning, and stabilizing each of the fragments, conservators get to reassemble them. https://t.co/qy9holLDJG
If you love your #thingsorganizedneatly, don't miss this week's #bkmconservation post on the deinstallation of Do Ho Suh's large-scale art work The Perfect Home II. https://t.co/ctd6f815mH
#BKMConservation often employ the use of transmitted light during the examination of works on paper which can ease the detection of certain condition issues and reveal details regarding the structure of the artwork. https://t.co/7ZwCYohGDO #BKMWorksonPaper
Graduate students are here from the @eskenazimuseum to create photogrammetric 3D models of #BKMEgyptianart objects, but first, #BKMConservation must examine, document, treat, and clean the objects to improve legibility and stabilize for handling. https://t.co/7ZwCYohGDO
Costumes shows like #PierreCardinBKM require some type of mounting, dress form or mannequin to display garments. Sometimes, the costume is too small for the mannequin, requiring the mannequin to be cut down in order to the garment to fit. https://t.co/ctd6f815mH #bkmconservation
Conservators often encounter objects that have been previously treated or restored. One of the most fascinating and beautiful types of restoration one comes across is Kintsugi. https://t.co/7ZwCYohGDO #bkmconservation
We’ve all seen the effect of unexpected and uncontrolled encounters between paper and moisture. A trained paper conservator can re-introduce moisture to the paper in order to clean and treat works. #bkmconservation https://t.co/ctd6f815mH
