It’s that time of year again! Twice a year, The Dinner Party undergoes an extensive cleaning by conservators with the assistance of collections management staff. The settings are removed to clean the ceramics, and the textile runners are removed and thoroughly vacuumed. At the same time we also check for any changes in condition, and thoroughly clean the surrounding space. Learn more about the constant effort that goes into keeping this iconic artwork on display here.Posted by Tina MarchPhoto credits: LaStarsha McGarity (top and bottom left), Melissa King (bottom right). -- source link
