At SAAM’s Lunder Conservation Center, visitors have the unique opportunity to see conservators at work throughout the laboratories and studios. The Center features floor-to-ceiling glass walls, allowing the public to view all aspects of conservation—work that is traditionally done behind the scenes at other institutions.
