This exhibition explores the vital work of art conservation—examining, documenting, treating and preventing the deterioration of artworks. Since its founding in 1970, the South Dakota Art Museum has championed the preservation of its collections, ensuring they remain accessible for research, exhibition, and future generations. Discover the behind-the-scenes stories of conservation treatments conducted at the Midwest Art Conservation Center, the generosity of supporters who make this work possible, and learn how to care for your own pieces through examples of objects awaiting conservation.
