Conservation in Action: Conservator's Corner

Gain a unique insight into museum conservation and the Bassae Frieze Project. Our Conservation Team explains it all in this short video. Find out more about why the Bassae casts needs repairing, what techniques our conservation team is using and what has happened so far.

We are committed to ensuring our casts are preserved for future generations to enjoy and study – and as a result, we are regularly monitoring cracks in the plaster and corrosion in the metal, and embarking on a rolling programme of conservation work.
