With a diverse range of collections numbering in the millions The Manchester Museum is able to explore many different subject areas.
This blog is about some of the work undertaken by The Manchester Museum Conservation Team.
This work is essential in order to preserve and maintain these collections so that our collections can be used and enjoyed now and in the future.
This looks like it will be a great blog! I was wondering whether The Manchester Museum does internships for conservation? If so I’d love to get involved!
Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately we don’t really offer internships, but we do occasionally host placements for conservation students. If you’re keen please feel free to contact our Senior Conservator, Sam Sportun, who’s email you will find on the main Museum website: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/museum/aboutus/staff
Alternatively ICON, the Institute of Conservation, offer internships for people with all sorts of experience. You can find information about these on their website: http://www.icon.org.uk
Hope you keep enjoying the blog!
