Conservation Lab

The Warhol’s Conservation Lab on the museum’s underground level provides visitors a behind-the-scenes look at museum conservation. Visiting conservators and museum staff can be seen through the large, glass windows mending and maintaining works of art and archival items from the museum’s collection.

Conservationists work to preserve pieces. A woman in a beige skirt and black cardigan bends over a table in the center of the image, arranging colorful prints. In the background, a man with curly black hair and a denim shirt works at another table.
