    The Lunder Conservation Center is the first art conservation facility that allows the public permanent behind-the-scenes views of essential preservation work.

    Conservation staff for both the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery are visible to the public through floor-to-ceiling glass walls that allow visitors to see firsthand all the techniques that conservators use to examine, treat and preserve artworks.

    The center has five state-of-the-art laboratories and studios equipped to treat paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, sculptures, folk art objects, contemporary crafts, decorative arts and frames.

      Hi, I'd like to use this image in the Wikipedia article for Art conservation. Would you be willing to change the copyright status so that I could use it?

      The license needs to look like this, or you could simply give me permission.

      Thanks,
