Conservation Management

Conservation management at Tate brings together strategy and operational delivery to support the care, understanding and long-term preservation of the collection.

It combines scientific analysis, preventive measures, specialist treatment, research and innovation to enable informed decision-making and responsive stewardship across a wide range of artworks and materials. It also plays a key role in supporting people — sharing knowledge, developing expertise and helping teams make confident, informed decisions about the care of the collections.

Through this joined-up approach, conservation management helps ensure that Tate’s collection remains accessible, sustainable and relevant for present and future audiences.
