Conservation Internship

To foster the next generation of conservators, the Conservation Office offers internship opportunity for students and recent graduates in cultural heritage conservation studies. Ms Joyce Wan was our recent conservation intern from June to September 2022, who is currently studying a Master Program in Conservation of Fine Art (Easel Painting) at the Northumbria University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, United Kingdom.

 

During her internship, Joyce was engaged in a range of preventive conservation tasks, as well as hands-on practical treatment on easel paintings. She also conducted experiments on testing novel materials to aid conservation treatment, assisted with the condition inspection and documentation of loaned exhibits and learnt about the range of analytical instrument and techniques used in the scientific study of cultural heritage objects.
