CARE & PRESERVATION OF TEXTILES with Bronwyn Cosgrove

Wednesday 14 Sep 2011, 10:15 AM – 11:45 AM

Storing and displaying textiles the correct way is very important for their long-term care and preservation. With the proper care and storage, antique textiles can last for many more years.

Join conservator Bronwyn Cosgrove to learn about the care and preservation of textiles. Examples will be provided and attendees are invited to bring along their own collection items for assessment.

BRONWYN COSGROVE is a Senior Conservator at the National Gallery of Victoria, specialising in textiles.

Before arriving at the NGV in 2003, Bronwyn worked as a textile conservator at the Australian War Memorial, the Australian National Maritime Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Australia
