More info Workshop: In the shoes of the conservator Artworks sometimes need care too. That's when the conservator springs into action! Much like a doctor, they examine the artwork very closely: what happened, where is the damage and how can the work best be helped? In this workshop you step into the shoes of a conservator yourself. You discover how to examine, care for and protect an artwork for the future. Afterwards you get hands-on with your own restoration assignment. From 11 AM to 12:30 PM or from 1:30 PM to 3 PM For children 8+ Price: Free with museum ticket, reservation required. Max. 10 people More info
