About The Event

Have you ever wondered how artworks in the CMA’s collection are cared for? Join CMA conservators and technicians for guided tours of the galleries. Investigate artists’ materials and processes and learn about how the museum preserves artworks for the future. 

Explore the connection between three artworks in the CMA’s collection: Benjamin West’s portrait of George III and Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of Baron FitzGibbon, both in gallery 204, and the Lord Chancellor’s Burse, not currently on display. Join CMA textile conservator Robin Hanson in conversation about these three artworks and get the rare chance to see the Lord Chancellor’s burse in the context of these two portraits.
