About this badge

Receive an introduction to the field of art conservation as it applies to the appraiser and the collector. Learn how to examine a work of art using simple tools, including magnification and ultraviolet illumination; how to identify media and supports, as well as agents of deterioration; and how to assess condition. Paintings, 3D objects, and works on paper are covered. The course is taught in a working conservation laboratory so you can view works of art at various stages in their examination and treatment.
