Visit the Artifact Lab!

The Artifact Lab Gallery will be open to the public during all Museum open hours. Due to the press of work involved in preparing our Ancient Egypt and Nubia galleries (forthcoming) we will no longer be having Open Window sessions but we still welcome questions about the work you see the conservators doing via our Artifact Lab blog
