The focus of
the department has been on preventative conservation, with the aim of
conserving our collections, ensuring that the collections are correctly stored,
handled and that the lighting and atmosphere is conducive to their
preservation.
The
Conservation Department was started at the Art Museum in 1972.
The Nelson
Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum is a registered institutional member of the IIC
(International Institute for Conservation).
The Conservation Department is
currently housed in the Main Gallery.
