Princeton University Art Museum have shared details of their new state of the art conservation studios, which are due to open later in October.

It seems that they have done a brilliant job in designing the spaces to allow members of the public to get a glimpse of what goes on in such places:

Adjacent to the galleries, on the second floor of the new building, visitors will encounter the conservation vestibule, a space where conservation-related installations will be displayed. Visitors will also be able to catch a glimpse of the conservators at work through the two windows in the double doors to the studios. The 2,000-square-foot space behind the doors will house both paper and objects conservation. Each area will have ample room and highly specialized equipment to carry out day-to-day treatment and research activities.
