May 1 @ 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm
During Maine Seaweed Week, join us in the Portland Museum of Art galleries to learn about the fascinating practices around the use of seaweed in the preservation of fine art.
We’ll be joined by C. Mei-An Tsu, a professional art conservator and currently caring for Harvard University’s famed collection of renowned Blashka Glass Models of Plants. Previously, Mei-An was an objects conservator for 25 years at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where she led major conservation projects, including the opening of many Classical and Egyptian galleries. This talk is presented in collaboration with the Maine Seaweed Week’s 8th Annual Food & Drink Festival Celebrating Maine’s Seaweed Harvest.
