On this day 50 years ago, the first interview was conducted for the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation Oral History Project. Housed in the Winterthur archives, this project contains hundreds of firsthand accounts of the history of conservation from its roots in art and furniture restoration to a professional field dedicated to preserving cultural heritage for future generations. Join us in the Galleries Reception Area to commemorate this important event, learn more about the history of conservation and explore fascinating items from this collection. Free. Drop in.
