Natural History Conservator, Yale Peabody Museum
Study Gallery, First Floor

Natural history conservation can take many forms—tiny brushes are one—but to take care of collections preventive conservation is among the most important. Come hear Peabody’s conservator Mariana Di Giacomo share her experiences (they do include vacuum cleaners!) and research, and learn how you too can help care for the Museum.
