Metropolitan Museum of Art has dedicated substantial resources to the preservation, technical study, and safe display of its collection. Today, nearly one hundred conservators, conservation scientists, and conservation preparators are tasked with these responsibilities, building upon the efforts of a diverse ensemble of craftsmen, restorers, scientists, directors, and curators working in dispersed workshops, laboratories, curatorial offices, and departmental study rooms throughout the building during the Museum’s earlier years.</p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig1a_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=900&w=760&la=en&hash=5C621FF81A891AF4BED25505EE879E53" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig1a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=852&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=CD3C6D27F08E30B294C18D34D7AA4FFD 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig1a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1704&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=F18B309EFFE5144591E2EFF96F05A569 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="An illustration of Charles Balliard in his workshop from Harper's New Monthly Magazine" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption">This 1880 illustration from <em>Harper’s New Monthly Magazine</em> shows Charles Baillard—a trained watchmaker, and the first truly recognizable figure in the history of conservation practice at the Museum—working on stone sculpture in the Cesnola Collection.</span></p></div> </section> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig1b_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=900&w=760&la=en&hash=A08D13CB2E48CCE0F890EC7026B044B7" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig1b_760.jpg?as=1&mh=852&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=0723C3008F1979188A8B5160386E563B 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig1b_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1704&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=E16649A1B697EF1AE0A61E6BB61707F5 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="A conservator treating a late Classical Greek funerary stele with a handheld tool" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption">Conservator Linda Borsch treating a late Classical Greek <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/255019">funerary stele</a> in 1997.</span></p></div> </section> <div class="rich-text z-container"> <p>Present-day conservation specialists work in studios and laboratories situated in independent departments dedicated to objects (three-dimensional works of art), paintings, works on paper, photographs, textiles, and scientific research, and in The Costume Institute, Thomas J. Watson Library, and the Departments of Arms and Armor; Arts of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas (for textiles); and Asian Art (for East Asian paintings).</p> <p>Several themes exemplify the development of conservation practice at The Met. The impact of charismatic and progressive directors and curators was significant in earlier years, before the field of conservation emerged as a distinct profession with well-trained practitioners. Nowadays conservators receive rigorous interdisciplinary academic and practical training, and they cultivate skills and knowledge to gain competency in one or more of a wide range of sub-specialties. This sets them apart from the diverse cohort of early practitioners who were often self-taught, though not necessarily unskilled, and who wore multiple hats. </p> <p>The emergence of conservation as an academic profession has fostered collaboration among the conservation departments, including the Department of Scientific Research, and scholarly exchange and collaboration with curatorial staff and educators. Conservation and conservation science play a role in every aspect of the Museum’s core mission to "[collect, study, conserve, and present] significant works of art across all times and cultures in order to connect people to creativity, knowledge, and ideas."</p> <p>Perhaps the most significant change in the field of conservation, particularly over the last six decades, is the evolution of a sensibility that privileges the primacy of the works of art as an expression of the artist’s intent, and their manufacture and materials as a reflection of technological style.</p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig2a_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=495&w=760&la=en&hash=0D3BE439B0A41E47B0D0193802EA2CFF" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig2a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=468&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=2BEACF6DA136987C571A887227E885B3 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig2a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=936&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=764697B5C1F3C76A971184C4B32E2B51 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="A group of conservators posed for a photograph in the workroom " /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption"><em>MMA, Interior Shops, Upholstery Shop, Wing F, Basement, 1926.</em> In the days of the workshops, women apparently only worked with textiles of various kinds, including upholstery and tapestries.</span></p></div> </section> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig2b_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=495&w=760&la=en&hash=F90544A362A308465653A4755354F6D6" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig2b_760.jpg?as=1&mh=468&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=567702B2A40FCF114791DEC6063857CA 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig2b_760.jpg?as=1&mh=936&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=3B69F1F51D84CDF662F3B852F3980914 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="A conservator handling the upholstery on chair" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption">Kathryn Gill, the Museum’s first professional upholstery conservator, treats one of two <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/209104">settees from the Seehof suite</a> in 1988.

The Early Years: "They Also Serve" (1870–1940)</h3> <p>During its first seven decades, most tasks relating to the preservation, restoration, and mounting of artworks were carried out by craftsmen (and the occasional woman) in workshops on the Museum’s ground floor under the aegis of a superintendent, who also managed the shops for the carpenters, metalworkers, and other workmen who maintained the building and its furnishings.</p> <p>In 1906, the Department of Egyptian Art was established, and a team was sent to excavate at Thebes in Upper Egypt. Over the next thirty years, the Museum acquired thousands of artifacts from excavations there and elsewhere in Egypt. This influx of highly unstable new finds spurred the Museum to seek out means of stabilizing them. Scientists such as William E. Kuckro (d. 1961) and Colin G. Fink (1881–1953) were engaged to investigate the deterioration and preservation of archaeological stone artifacts and archaeological bronzes. Fink’s electrochemical methods were adopted all over the world but now are long out of favor. As a result of his quest for permanency at any cost, the metal artifacts that he treated are chemically stable for the most part but have unattractive surfaces that evoke neither their original nor as-excavated appearance.</p> <p> </p> </div> <div class="rich-text z-container"> <p><div class="media__youtube-wrapper"><iframe width="720" height="428" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vHIzQcy6DxU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media"></iframe></div> <p><span class="inline-caption">Sometimes it was necessary to stabilize newly excavated finds granted the Museum before they could be transported. In this 1924 footage from the Museum’s excavation at Thebes, Egyptologist Herbert E. Winlock applies wax consolidants to a wooden coffin and removes the excess.</span></p></p> </div> <div class="rich-text z-container"> <p>These scientific consultants were engaged by the Museum's third director, Edward Robinson (1858–1931), a classical archaeologist by training. During his twenty-one-year tenure (1910–31), he brought new analytical and imaging tools to bear on questions of authenticity, dating, and the extent of prior restorations. The expanding role of science is seen in Robinson's call in 1925 for a national laboratory to ensure that the treatment of artworks would be of “the highest scientific character.” His successor, Egyptologist Herbert E. Winlock (1888–1950), who himself stabilized new finds while on site, corresponded regularly with preservation specialists on thorny problems, and when he became director in 1932, hired Arthur H. Kopp (1900–1938), the Museum’s first resident scientist. Kopp continued Fink’s research into electrochemical methods, but also devoted much time to restoring and analyzing objects of metal, stone, faience, and other materials, and his activities are well documented in laboratory notebooks that continue to serve as a valuable staff resource. The Museum avoided hiring a resident scientist for decades following Kopp’s death in a laboratory fire. Starting in the late 1920s while still a curator at The Cloisters, James J. Rorimer (1905–1966), the Museum’s sixth director, also personally carried out a variety of treatments and technical investigations.</p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig4a_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=590&w=760&la=en&hash=5C3A1E7CA0C70AB7915FE9F82DC25AC6" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig4a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=558&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=A77C0F32281E1199992ECC8ECC335049 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig4a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1116&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=6822A005F500FEED1F2BC70DFA4D00C3 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="The frontispiece in James Rorimer's study on the effects of ultraviolet light on objects" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption">James Rorimer, before he became director in 1955, was actively engaged in both restoration work and technical research.

With notable exceptions—for example, curator Roger Fry (1866–1934) was defended in a 1906 article of the Museum’s <em>Bulletin</em> for his cleaning of a Rubens painting that had been publicly criticized by the director of the Albright Art Gallery in Buffalo—care of this collection fell to freelance paintings restorers such as H. A. Hammond Smith (1860–1927) and Stephen S. Pichetto (1887–1949), who enjoyed a more elevated status (and a third-floor studio with natural daylight) than the artisans working on other materials on the ground floor. Fry was the first curator, though certainly not the last, who restored works in the Museum's collection, often with unfortunate results. The incident with the Rubens painting, and its attendant press, reflected the public interest in restoration work carried out at The Met. Scrutiny in this case was minor compared to a media frenzy that started in 1890 and lasted for several years after public allegations that Cypriot stone sculpture in the Cesnola Collection had been fraudulently restored by Charles Baillard <span>(d. 1916)</span>, the Museum's first restorer.</p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig5a_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=600&w=760&la=en&hash=B13CD39E1FE2763FD1E5A4FD3B45FFD9" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig5a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=568&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=A6C3D5B4192A0462A6DDF43821BC6FB4 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig5a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1136&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=29B7D27D3489B1C616C6C081E43633D4 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="A paintings conservator working on Raphael’s Agony in the Garden next to a large panel press" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption"><em>Interior, Shops, Painters Restorer’s Studio, Wing B, Floor III, 1936.</em> A master at self-promotion, self-taught but highly respected, Stephen S.

Many archaeological metal objects were sent to the renowned Parisian firm of Léon André for cleaning and restoration; Japanese craftsmen Okabe Kakuya (1873–1918) and Rokkaku Shisui (1867–1950), who had worked previously at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, treated the Museum’s collection of Japanese metal, lacquer, and wood sculpture in 1908.</p> <p>After serving in an honorary capacity in the Decorative Arts Department, Renaissance man and collector Bashford Dean (1867–1928) was appointed curator in the Department of Arms and Armor upon its establishment in 1912. Jacob Merkert (d. 1933) had maintained the collection since 1894, but Dean saw the need for a trained armorer who could reproduce missing and damaged steel components. In 1909, he hired a Frenchman, Daniel Tachaux (1857–1928), heir to the traditional practice of armor making in Europe. Until 1919, Tachaux worked both at the Museum and in Dean’s private armory in his home. The German armorer Leonard Hugel (1877–ca. 1935) and his nephew Leonard Heinrich (ca. 1900–1966) continued the same arrangement until Dean’s death in 1928, when they came to work full-time in the Museum, joined by a local man, Harvey Murton (1907–2004), who trained in Dean’s armory from age twelve. In keeping with the workshop practices of the day, artists and craftsmen restored other works in the diverse collection: Stanley J. Rowland (1891–1964), for example, a draftsman who went on to become a successful mural painter, treated polychrome wood shields. </p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--large image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig6a_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=720&w=760&la=en&hash=C8822376BB174D6D378DBB35029D2F7B" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig6a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1440&mw=1520&sc_lang=en&hash=4F021AFB2A7156D3712513D92852BAC7 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig6a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=2880&mw=3040&sc_lang=en&hash=EB5539EDEDA4AC7E82551A5672389B78 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="Three conservators handling materials in the arms and armors workroom" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption"><em>MMA Interiors, Workshops, Armor Repair Shop, Wing E Room 105, Basement Floor, 1937</em>.

The Middle Years: Consolidation (1940–1960)</h3> <p>In 1940, Francis Henry Taylor (1903–1957), the Museum's fifth director, arrived from the Worcester Art Museum, bringing with him a tradition of conservation innovation fostered in the Boston area by Harvard's Fogg Art Museum. He requested a curatorial investigation into the Museum's restoration practices and learned that the “repair” of three-dimensional works, including metal, stone, ceramics, and furniture, was carried out by men who for the most part were self-trained—having been promoted from maintenance positions—working under the direction of the building superintendent. The report further stated: “Quality of work generally satisfactory to curators. Working conditions poor. Technical direction, as distinct from mechanical supervision, practically non-existent.”</p> <p>In addition to active service, many members of the Museum's staff contributed to the war effort during World War II. Most famously, James Rorimer was among the "Monuments Men"—there were also women, one of whom, Edith Standen (1905–1998), later became a curator of textiles at the Museum—who secured artworks looted during World War II. Closer to home, conservator Murray Pease (1903–1964) played an important role in safeguarding works endangered in the event of a direct attack on the North American mainland. A singular contribution to the war effort, however, was that of the Museum's armorers, who worked with curators in the Department of Arms and Armor, as they had during World War I, to design and produce prototypes for defensive armors at the request of the United States government.</p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig7a1_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=665&w=760&la=en&hash=9A19206CB889765B525C43A37CA5B884" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig7a1_760.jpg?as=1&mh=630&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=6CF2232A90C6A65996220027CA19AE30 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig7a1_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1260&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=5B27C5663BC2D4924140660CD9530CE8 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="Leonard Heinrich working on prototype for a helmet in workshop with several metal tools hanging on wall" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption">Leonard Heinrich working on a helmet for the United States Army, 1942–45.</span></p></div> </section> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig-7-a2_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=901&w=760&la=en&hash=1A9E4A642B88B7C8DFC9EC58CC37C2FD" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig-7-a2_760.jpg?as=1&mh=852&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=03792CF40D2A8C146B0A49D74DB640CD 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig-7-a2_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1704&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=B4C7B6D4CF87143608C66EB9079DF6C9 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="Leonard Heinrich fits Ingrid Bergman in armor" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption">Having contributed to the war effort during World War II, Heinrich applied his expertise, hand skills, and Tachaux's tools to designing and fabricating a suit of armor that Ingrid Bergman wore in the title role of the 1948 film <em>Joan of Arc</em>.

Together, they laid the foundation for modern conservation practice through the introduction of standardized “request for treatment” forms, protocols for documentation, condition checks for outgoing loans, and handling guidelines, which formed the basis of the 1946 publication, <em>Care and Handling of Art Objects</em>, by registrar Robert Sugden (1908–1953). The most recent update, combining the expertise of more than sixty conservators, curators, and other museum specialists, was published on the Museum’s website in 2020. In 1949, the sub-department was renamed Technical Laboratory and granted full departmental status; Pease was appointed Conservator in 1956, the first time this title was used in the Museum.</p> <p> Pease was trained in the restoration of paintings, and his interests and expertise also extended to technical research. He made few changes in the treatment of three-dimensional objects, and having combined the existing workshops, he still supervised the same craftsmen already working in the Museum. In 1947, he hired an assistant, Kate Lefferts (1911–2000), who managed the Laboratory and restored paintings. Unlike Lefferts and two specialists for paintings who were also hired in the 1940s, employees in the workshops were not mentioned in the Museum's annual reports until the early 1960s, despite Pease's attempts to raise their salaries and status. They remain for the most part anonymous. Although Pease had stressed the need for trained scientific staff, it was only in 1970 that Pieter Meyers was engaged as a research chemist.</p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig7a_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=550&w=760&la=en&hash=2EE3E4C65AAF7F3BC6385F8683125FE4" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig7a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=520&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=72CF3D8DBF5EA7F31DA7D8F51A64A99C 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig7a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1040&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=896F1D292B519E6BFDC61CB553533091 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="A conservator radiographing a painting" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption">Starting in the 1920s, Alan Burroughs, a pioneer in the radiographic study of paintings at the Fogg Art Museum, employed portable equipment to take X-rays of several hundred works by Old Masters in the Museum’s collection.

Pease later headed the committee that drew up guidelines for basic standards of professional practice and ethics accepted in 1963 by the membership of the American Group of the IIC, now known as the American Institute for Conservation (AIC).</p> <p>Full professionalization required professionally trained conservators. It was not until 1960, decades after the demise of the Fogg's training program for paintings conservators, that the first graduate-level training in the United States for conservators of three-dimensional objects, textiles, works on paper, as well as paintings, was offered at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts Conservation Center. The students received foundational knowledge of all specialities as part of an interdisciplinary education combining art history and archaeology, natural sciences, historic technology, and practical experience in examining and treating works of art. Other opportunities for training arose with the establishment of the Cooperstown Graduate Program in the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works in 1970 (now part of SUNY Buffalo State College) and the Winterthur-University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation in 1974.</p> </div> <div class="rich-text z-container"> <p><h3>III. The Rise of Professionalism (1960–1976)</h3> <p>The appointment of Hubert von Sonnenburg (1928–2004) in 1961 as Conservator of Paintings in the Department of European Paintings marked a gradual transition that led to the creation by the mid-1970s of four independent conservation departments for paintings, works on paper, textiles, and three-dimensional objects. Sonnenburg replaced the previous generation of practitioners’ “dispassionate objectivity” with an aesthetic approach. His successor, John Brealey (1925–2002), who took up his position in 1975, envisioned the department as a center for collaboration and training that included art historians and scientists, where paintings would be treated as artworks and not as clinical specimens. With funding from the Sherman Fairchild Foundation, a rehoused and reequipped facility opened in 1980.

At the same time, Minna Horwitz (1899–1984), who had trained at the Fogg, split her time between The Met and the Morgan Library, where she and Pease set up studios for treating works of art on paper. She also served as Safford’s mentor. In the early 1960s, a new studio above the recently completed Watson Library was outfitted, in proximity to the then-separate Departments of Prints and Drawings. Safford received a Conservator title in 1964 when the departments were combined. Safford was a strong advocate for professionalization of conservation practice: he hired academically trained conservators and fought for changes in their titles from restorer to conservator in order to maintain equity within the Museum’s hierarchy, and to reflect their advanced training and expertise.</p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig17a_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=674&w=760&la=en&hash=0CB20F89C002CEF34B44D75EE83CD411" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig17a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=638&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=6F32C93C5F02D354F579EBFF8D74EE13 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig17a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1276&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=83C815DF6CFC1EC6B6248777A8BA6156 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="1940s photograph of men and women in old fashioned clothes smiling for camera" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption">Minna Horwitz (second row, third from left) with other staff members at the Fogg Museum in the 1940s.

Lefferts retired in 1970, and her successor—for a brief period until his own retirement—was Walter (Ed) Rowe. Rowe was so highly respected for his hand skills and knowledge of historic techniques that he received the perhaps singular honor (for a restorer) of an article profiling his work in the Museum's <em>Bulletin</em>, illustrated with a photograph made by a popular portrait photographer and now in the collection of the National Gallery of Ontario. Curators had already expressed their concern over the quality of work carried out under Lefferts's direction, and in the years following, standards diminished further with the evolution of small enclaves and sub-departments without consistent oversight. By all accounts, many curators requested specific treatments—not necessarily the most suitable—or demanded restorations that would today be deemed excessive or misleading, and many of their complaints reflected unrealistic expectations regarding the amount of time required to complete their requests. Still, due in part to their membership in international museum organizations and to their various professional and personal connections to the Institute of Fine Arts, the more enlightened among them had recognized that conservation practice and training were changing rapidly.</p> </div> <div class="rich-text z-container"> <p>In 1976, acknowledging imminent need for a professional conservation team for the ongoing reinstallation of the Egyptian collection, the Museum recruited James H. Frantz, an alumnus of the Conservation Center at the Institute of Fine Arts. Over his twenty-seven-year tenure, Frantz transformed the department and revitalized the practice of objects conservation and scientific research. Change came immediately with the hiring of professional conservators for archaeological, ethnographic, and historic works of art, including specialists in furniture, historic interiors, gilding, and upholstery conservation. Frantz also hired dedicated mount makers, today officially known as conservation preparators, to design and fabricate exhibition, storage, and travel mounts in keeping with modern conservation standards.</p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig11a_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=530&w=760&la=en&hash=EB574D9627C975B713CDDB815F42433F" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig11a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=502&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=39F588197820009EDA7676017D7D7206 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig11a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1004&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=41974AE15C5B913324545487374FBBFD 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="Conservators restoring ceramics in a workshop" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption"><em>Repair Shop, Wing B, Room 135, Basement Floor, 1926.</em> Most of the repairers in the early workshops were non-specialists.

Kajitani, who was trained in conservation at the Textile Museum in Washington D.C., came to The Met as a restorer in 1966. According to her oral history recorded in 2002, the tapestries at that time were being cared for by “needlewomen,” but other textiles were largely neglected: her predecessors, Mrs. Burke and Mrs. Sullivan, were using accessioned French and Indian printed cottons to make curtains for period rooms in the American Wing. Kajitani oversaw the physical and professional expansion of the department. In 1995, with funds provided by the Antonio Ratti Foundation, a new laboratory was inaugurated along with a centralized research facility, the Antonio Ratti Textile Center and Research Library. Designed to provide optimal conditions for storing and viewing textiles, the Ratti Center is currently maintained by five collections specialists under curatorial management coordinating with the Department of Textile Conservation. The Department of Textile Conservation and the Ratti Center were early adopters of the Museum's collections database derived from existing catalogue card information. Today, a robust online catalogue provides scholars with high-resolution images, documentation, and historical information for textiles in twelve curatorial collections. Expanding the database to incorporate additional technical information and high-quality photomicrographs, and to make it available online, are among the department's active priorities. </p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--xlarge image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig12_1560.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=560&w=1560&la=en&hash=88E43163614F17BFB15E7428ADB46CA8" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig12_1560.jpg?as=1&mh=832&mw=2320&sc_lang=en&hash=0B192EEE91F75AB4CE91678498B10956 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig12_1560.jpg?as=1&mh=1664&mw=4640&sc_lang=en&hash=C9F6FB8E189DEA6C398F019651B62FCE 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="Left: A woman sewing a textile; Right: Several conservators seated in the textile conservation studio restoring materials" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption"><strong>Left: </strong>Frances Morris, the first woman professional at the Museum, came as a part-time cataloger for musical instruments, then under the purview of the Department of Decorative Arts.

Specialization and Collaboration (1976–2020)</h3> <p>The last quarter of the twentieth century and the first decades of the new millennium have seen further growth in conservation practice at The Met as different specializations attained independent status or upgraded their professional engagement.</p> <p>The Museum has called on internal and external scientific expertise over the course of its long history. In the 1960s, for example, while searching for means to stabilize the Fuentidueña Apse at The Cloisters, it lent financial support to the research of Seymour Z. Lewin, a chemistry professor at New York University studying the mechanisms of limestone deterioration. Lewin also consulted on the Temple of Dendur, and on Cleopatra's Needle, an Egyptian obelisk situated nearby in Central Park, which William Kuckro had consolidated in 1913 using the same proprietary mixture he later applied to the Museum’s blocks from the tomb of Perneb. In 2003, scientists in the four independent conservation departments joined a newly established Department of Scientific Research and now work in collaboration with all conservation departments and conservators embedded in other departments. Formerly, museum scientists came from universities or industry; in the last thirty years, it has become more common that young scientists enter the field by design, often with prior conservation training. The Network Initiative for Scientific Research (NICS), a pioneer project launched in 2016 and funded through 2022 by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, supports two scientists dedicated to conducting research on works of art in the collections of twelve other New York City museums, in collaboration with conservators and curators from these institutions.</p> <p>Most of the Museum’s approximately two million works on paper, including rare books, are held in the Department of Drawings and Prints, but they can be found in every curatorial collection. Merritt Safford had proposed a new facility for their care and technical study in 1980, but his vision, somewhat altered, came to fruition only in 2001, when paper and photograph conservation were rehoused in state-of-the-art studios and laboratories. Academic training for photograph conservation dates back only to 1976. Prior to this, the care of photographic materials had traditionally been in the hands of paper specialists. In fact, photographs have always been printed on a variety of substrates, and even those on paper are quite different from drawings and prints in physical structure and chemical makeup. This distinction was acknowledged first in 1990 with the hiring of a photograph conservator and again in 2001 with division of the existing paper and photography laboratory into separate physical and administrative entities. At this time, Photograph Conservation became part of the Department of Photographs—which itself only came into existence in 1992—until it was granted full departmental status in 2015 and also assumed responsibility for the preservation of time-based media. The Department of Paper Conservation continues to be responsible for drawings and prints in all media and techniques, Western illuminated manuscripts on parchment and paper, Indian and Islamic paintings and albums, ivory portrait miniatures, palm-leaf manuscripts, papyrus, paper-based three-dimensional objects, and ephemera.</p> <p>Responsibility for the Museum's rare books is shared by book, paper, and photograph conservators. Traditionally, fine bookbinders aimed to create presentation volumes that look attractive on the shelf, but this changed at the Museum when master binder and finisher Alfred William Launder (1867–1952) was hired by the Prints Department in 1929. Encouraged by founding curator William Ivins Jr. (1881–1961), among others, Launder invented a new binding structure that allowed books to be opened and read while still preserving their aesthetic and structural integrity. Currently, the care and rehousing of more than one million library books is the responsibility of a conservation team working in the Sherman Fairchild Center for Book Conservation, built in 2011. Unlike most museum conservators who treat works for display or storage, book conservators face a unique challenge: maintaining a collection subject to constant handling by Museum staff and scholarly visitors.</p> <p> </p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig13a_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=600&w=760&la=en&hash=783DC32AC7A86556F053BA932CECB651" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig13a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=568&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=94A83C1E5EFAADF11BD7F42FFA9403A5 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig13a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1136&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=46767CFA228BB5CD02B685B87938A8CF 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="Two conservators working on restoring prints" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption"><em>Repair Shop, Print Department, Wing K, Room 104, Basement Floor. 1936.</em> The man on the left doing finishing work is almost certainly Alfred Launder; the finely bound editions on the table are recognizably his work.

When the first professional fashion conservators were engaged in the late 1980s, they found the collections in the hands of skilled sewers—women who had worked in the garment industry or the theater—with no understanding of conservation principles. Because fashion is animated by the wearer, it is best understood when displayed in relationship to the human body. Of necessity, costume conservators focus on stabilizing the structure of garments to withstand the stresses thereby incurred and are actively engaged in dressing display mannequins and managing storage. Currently five conservators work in close collaboration with a large team of collections specialists in laboratories and a study/storage facility that opened in 2014 in the Anna Wintour Costume Center.</p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--xlarge image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig14_1560.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=580&w=1560&la=en&hash=35BE4F99B17BA1A22ECC666C58A4521A" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig14_1560.jpg?as=1&mh=862&mw=2320&sc_lang=en&hash=2FC4910D6FBFC565911EDE7A3CA65F69 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig14_1560.jpg?as=1&mh=1724&mw=4640&sc_lang=en&hash=3B3CA3B087C031A9C78FF640B9A6D812 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="Left: A man and a woman dressing a mannequin for an exhibition; Right: Two conservators inspecting elaborate costume ensembles." /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption"><strong>Left: <em></em></strong>Only the gentleman, a Mr. Mayer, is mentioned in the Photo Studio logbook entry for this 1941 photograph showing a mannequin being prepared for display in a temporary exhibition. <strong>Right:</strong> Polaire Weissman Fellow Kaelyn Garcia (left) and conservator Elizabeth Schaeffer check the condition of <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/821465">an ensemble by Tomo Koizumi</a> after it was displayed in the 2019 exhibition <em><a href="/exhibitions/listings/2019/camp-notes-on-fashion">Camp: Notes on Fashion</a>.</em></span></p></div> </section> <div class="rich-text z-container"> <p>Using specialized metalworking tools originally owned by Daniel Tachaux that were accessioned in 1912 at the urging of Bashford Dean, the traditional art of making armor was kept alive at the Museum until the early 1970s, by which time Leonard Heinrich and Harvey Murton had retired.

Initially, the instruments were restored by non-specialists, and subsequently, paralleling the arc of development in conservation practices seen elsewhere in the Museum, by skilled and knowledgeable musical instrument makers; since 2008, the collection is cared for by objects conservators with advanced training in the treatment and technical study of musical instruments. </p> <p>After the departure in 1929 of Frances Morris <span>(1866–1955)</span>, who had curated the musical instruments collection for decades, responsibility for their care fell to Joseph Breck (1885–1933), the curator of the Department of Decorative Arts. He had little interest—in his opinion they were "scientific rather than artistic"—and he recommended deaccessioning all but fifteen "artistically important" Western instruments. With this in mind, the renowned musicologist Curt Sachs (1881–1959) was hired in 1939 to "take care" of the collection. His sometimes-radical interventions were carried out in the workshops by woodworkers, painters, and piano technicians.</p> <div>The instruments did, however, remain in the Museum and the Department of Musical Instruments was established in 1947. Demonstrating to the public how the instruments sounded and were used was important to Emanuel Winternitz (1898–1983), the first curator, who started working with the collection in 1941. Winternitz was a musician in his own right, loved performance, and viewed the collection as part of an aural art form; the focus of restoration carried out at that time was to return the instruments to playable condition. Over the years, this attitude has shifted, and they are now judged to be documents of historic musical instrument making and musical practice of the past as well as devices for making music. Currently, less than two percent of the more than five thousand instruments are occasionally played in concerts at the Museum. Alongside their curatorial counterparts, conservators continue to explore the preservation of sound, which remains an intangible but essential quality of these works.</div> <p> </p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/winternitz_hurdy-gurdy.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=612&w=760&la=en&hash=4CD9A5363FF5B3DE11CF694897F7A804" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/winternitz_hurdy-gurdy.jpg?as=1&mh=578&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=9D83C262C42CBD538F48F4CDD1B57A83 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/winternitz_hurdy-gurdy.jpg?as=1&mh=1156&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=FA400D6D4D47EC3EE4A2823CA282D253 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="Emanuel Winternitz showing children the hurdy-gurdy instrument" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption">Emanuel Winternitz in the musical instrument galleries demonstrating a hurdy-gurdy to the Fife and Drum Corps of the Children's Aid Society of Greenwich Village, 1947.</span></p></div> </section> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/susanacaldeira_lab.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=901&w=604&la=en&hash=C09406E7B4CDDAE73A4A11EFBAB77F0D" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/susanacaldeira_lab.jpg?as=1&mh=1074&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=848586AD4F71C44C7B6B7BA1F6FA4EEF 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/susanacaldeira_lab.jpg?as=1&mh=2148&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=0435C8C358CC88E4F832F5ADBB15BAD3 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="Susana Caldeira staining piece of wood in conservation lab" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption">Susana Caldeira, the first conservator specialized in the treatment and study of musical instruments to join Objects Conservation, varnishing a replacement batten for a harpsichord in a space devoted to conservation in the Department of Musical Instruments, ca. 2009.</span></p></div> </section> <div class="rich-text z-container"> <p>In the early 1970s, the newly established Curatorial Forum, an in-house professional organization, initially voted resoundingly to bar conservators from membership.

In fact, specialists for modern and contemporary art have joined all of the conservation departments in recent years. Contemporary works of art can offer conservators singular opportunities to engage with living artists as they address problems stemming from the use of unconventional materials, many with unknown aging properties, and the restaging of complex installations of large-scale works comprising hundreds of individual components. Conversely, they sometimes must balance the wishes of these artists or their estates with conventional Museum practices and standards. When installing conceptual art, conservators may find themselves attempting to honor a deceased artist's intentions through written instructions that provide little guidance on materials and structure, just as many living conceptual artists decline to participate in the restaging of their work.</p> <p>Conservators and conservation scientists working with more traditional materials must continually acquire new skills as new technologies are developed and adapted to conservation practice. The ongoing acquisition of new or updated non- or minimally invasive instrumentation and the skill to operate them and interpret the data augment exponentially our understanding of the Museum's collections. In collaboration with The Met's Imaging Department, Met conservators are experimenting with and implementing a range of new two- and three-dimensional imaging techniques to document, study, and virtually reconstruct works of art. The latter is increasingly important with our growing acknowledgement that reversibility, which is given primacy in modern conservation practice, is often difficult or impossible to attain in practice. New imaging technologies, coupled with 3-D printing techniques, are also beginning to transform mount making for display and travel.</p> <p> </p> </div> <section class="image-block image-block--medium image-block--text-above-below z-container"> <div class="image-block__image-container"> <img src="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig15a_760.jpg?sc_lang=en&h=615&w=760&la=en&hash=EB7D238DB9B7D12ABC1C444BDAFCD746" srcset="/-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig15a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=582&mw=720&sc_lang=en&hash=9EAE7DF640EA60053C2373FB5BC694F4 1x, /-/media/images/about-the-met/conservation-and-scientific-research/conservation-stories/2020/history-of-conservation/fig15a_760.jpg?as=1&mh=1164&mw=1440&sc_lang=en&hash=8FB41156FFFA477D4E5FC94A31E2DF9C 2x" class="image-block__image" style="" alt="A conservator using a large machine to create a plaster mold of an object" /> </a> </div> <div class="image-block__description rich-text"><p><span class="inline-caption"><em>Plaster Cast Shop.</em> L.

One important development in conservation practice over the last several decades is the institution of preventive measures, including climate control. Maintaining appropriate environmental conditions in a building that hosts tens of thousands of visitors each day, however, requires a vast amount of energy. Developing more environmentally sustainable means of regulating interior climates is essential, and conservators and conservation scientists must systematically evaluate current standards, so that any move toward relaxing them is based on sound principles. Conservators are also working to substitute toxic and carcinogenic compounds used in their work with those less damaging to the environment and themselves, and to find practical substitutes for frequently used non-recyclable disposables, such as nitrile gloves, which are used to protect works of art from dirt and damaging oils on human hands and to protect human hands from toxic or caustic substances.</p> <p>Despite advances over the course of the Museum’s history in the professionalization of conservation practice, conservators and conservation scientists still sometimes struggle with institutional hierarchies that make it difficult for them to promote and maintain established standards for best practice. Working with seventeen curatorial departments, each with unique collections, only adds to the challenge. Along with their unparalleled knowledge of the materials, manufacture, physical history, and artistic intent that have shaped works of art in the Museum's encyclopedic collection, conservation specialists have the expertise to advocate on behalf of their physical well-being. Their input into all activities that can impact these works—which includes planning for Museum construction, gallery installations, temporary exhibitions, in- and outgoing loans, storage environments, and their presentation to the public and professional audiences in print and online publications—is essential. Although the practice of drawing upon this conservation expertise at early stages of every project is sometimes overlooked, conservator specialists at The Met continue to strive to bring their scholarship and collaborative spirit to the forefront for the sake of the collection.</p> <div>Engagement with indigenous communities that have continuing cultural affiliations with works of art preserved in cultural institutions is increasingly recognized as an essential component of their care. Dialogues with community members can offer valuable knowledge about artworks in the collection, including cultural perspectives and specialized knowledge of traditional media and manufacture. These conversations may also inform preservation and restoration measures and the display and storage of culturally sensitive materials. Conservators are currently surveying the most sensitive of these, human remains, which are represented in virtually every curatorial collection. A working group tasked with drafting a publicly accessible human remains policy for the Museum is considering some of the following issues: how human remains are defined and catalogued, methodologies for appropriate display and storage, best practices for engaging in dialogue with source communities, and protocols for undertaking scientific analysis and conservation treatment. This group includes representation from curatorial and conservation departments and the Counsel’s Office.</div></p> </div> <div class="rich-text z-container"> <p><iframe width="100%" height="375" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/f2-6Mh6lyQQ" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" style="text-align: center;"></iframe></p> <p><span class="inline-caption" style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #1a1a1a;"> Conservator Caitlin Mahony consults with Chuna McIntyre, a Yup'ik dancer, on her approach to the conservation of <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/751539">a Yup'ik mask</a>.</span></p> <p>Increasing diversity among conservation professionals is a stated priority of the American Institute of Conservation. The traditional racial, ethnic, and class uniformity among their professional staff is inseparable from the challenge faced by museums to make their programs relevant and welcoming to more diverse communities. In recent years, conservators and conservation scientists have participated more actively in Museum educational programs and other outreach initiatives for students in all stages of their education that aim to promote inclusion by fostering broad interest in conservation as a career. The Museum’s conservation departments, working with Education, are exploring opportunities to partner with organizations with existing programs supporting diversity in museums as well as developing their own initiatives. Financial considerations often limit participation in museum internship and fellowship programs and employment to students and professionals with greater monetary resources; in a recent initiative supporting greater diversity among museum professionals, The Met secured a gift that funds a fully paid internship program for undergraduate and graduate students, the largest of its kind in the United States.</p> <p>Over the course of the Museum's first 150 years, conservation and science research have become established, active sources of specialized expertise, recognized internationally, and a critical component of the Museum's lifeblood. Moving into the future, The Met’s conservation and conservation science staff will continue to work toward achieving ever higher standards for preserving and studying the collection. They will contribute to the advancement of conservation practice around the world through education, outreach, and advocacy, while working with their colleagues in every phase of The Met’s activities to create a more diverse, more inclusive, more sustainable, and more engaged institution, for the benefit of all.</p> <!-- hr--> <h3>Further Reading</h3> <p>Lawrence Becker and Deborah Schorsch. “The Practice of Objects Conservation in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (1870–1942).” <em><a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/metpublications/Metropolitan_Museum_Studies_in_Art_Science_and_Technology">Metropolitan Museum Studies in Art, Science, and Technology </a></em><a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/art/metpublications/Metropolitan_Museum_Studies_in_Art_Science_and_Technology">1</a> (2010), pp. 11–37.</p> <p>Francesca G.
