Online exhibit on conservation

Students in the UCLA/Getty Conservation program have created an
online exhibition based on research and treatment of objects at the
Agua Caliente Cultural Museum in Palm Springs, CA.

"Western Science Seeks Cultural Knowledge"

    Baskets are important not only amongst the Cahuilla, but for
    Native peoples throughout the west and northwest regions of the
    United States.  It seems fitting, then, to focus the eyes of
    conservators on baskets and other items made from plant
    materials in the collections of the Agua Caliente Cultural
    Museum.  This exhibition demonstrates the kinds of discoveries
    that UCLA graduate conservation students made in the
    investigation and treatment of cultural objects and sandals in
    the Museum collections.

Please check out the exhibition, described below, at

all interested parties.
