Supporting Conservation

As one of the nation’s great artistic and historic resources, the Philadelphia Museum of Art assumes the enormous responsibility of preserving its collections for future generations.

The conservation of approximately 300,000 objects, dating as far back as 500 A.D. and encompassing an astonishing diversity of mediums, presents both monumental challenges and exceptional opportunities for research and discovery. However, the professional and technical resources required to carry out this work can often be difficult to come by.

Gifts in support of conservation at the Philadelphia Museum of Art are used to improve the laboratory facilities, to support the treatment of works of art, and to maintain the Museum’s position as a leading center for conservation training and research.
