Discover what secrets lie beneath the surface of artworks…

Join Crawford Art Gallery’s Dr Chiara Chillè, Conservator, and Dr Micheal Waldron, Curator of Collections and Special Projects, this Heritage Week for a rare behind-the-scenes look at the research, technology, and expertise involved in caring for and interpreting Ireland’s National Collection.
