The mission of the Brooklyn Museum is to act as a bridge between the rich artistic heritage of world cultures, as embodied in its collections, and the unique experience of each visitor. Dedicated to the primacy of the visitor experience, committed to excellence in every aspect of its collections and programs, and drawing on both new and traditional tools of communication, interpretation, and presentation, the Museum aims to serve its diverse public as a dynamic, innovative, and welcoming center for learning through the visual arts.

It is too humid today to apply the topcoat, and thundershowers are expected later this evening.

Tomorrow is First Saturday at the Brooklyn Museum. My colleague, objects conservator Tina March and I will be giving a talk at 5:15 in front of the Statue of Liberty, discussing the conservation treatment. There is a very good chance that the painting will still be in progress. If you are able, please stop by.

Lisa Bruno, Conservator of Objects
