Conservation: Cast of Michelangelo’s Madonna and Child
Find out about the conservation process for a cast of Michelangelo’s Madonna and Child, which will be included in the exhibition.
Conserving Constable’s figures
We have been working on conservation of five small figures in the lab, reputedly carved by Constable. They are said to represent the five best singers in the East Bergholt choir.
Colours: a monumental decision
Selecting the colour for the gallery walls is an important part of making the exhibition come to life. It involves research, visualising and finally testing.
Getting ready for Rodin
Rodin’s The Kiss is coming to Ipswich in November and this has given us the opportunity to display our own sculpture.
