We investigate artists’ materials and techniques, and parts of the collection that are difficult to conserve

Sculpture conservators at Tate work with both traditional and unconventional materials

Tate’s pioneering conservation work with film, audio, performance and other time-based artworks

Frames are both functional and decorative. Understanding their authenticity helps us appreciate their role in a painting’s history
