Yale partnership highlights dazzling story behind J. M. W Turner

We learn something new every time we enter a museum, gallery or library. But chances are good that we are less familiar with the behind-the-scenes technology, analysis, and treatment methods used by curators, conservators and scientists to enhance our understanding, bringing works to their original condition and preserving them into the future. The story of one of J.M.W. Turner’s great masterpieces, and the work of colleagues at the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage and the Yale Center for British Art – their international connections spanning science, culture and history – is available on YaleNews.
