Join us for a special pop-up conservation event! Arms conservator Isabelle will be on hand to discuss her work on the Magazine Project and the conservation of firearms. Visitors will get to see a reproduction firearm as it is fully disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled and learn about the creative and innovative methods used by conservators in the lab. This event will be open for free-flow visitation for anyone with a ticket to the Historic Area, once a month on advertised days.
