Preserving Art: working as a paintings conservator

What happens if artworks are damaged? Who restores them? And what lies under the surface of paintings? In Preserving Art, Lorraine Maule tells us about her role as a paintings conservator.
Working With Art is a new series from the National Galleries of Scotland, where we delve into the different roles across our galleries. We ask what do people do in an art gallery? What's happening behind the scenes? And what's it really like to work with art?
Produced by the National Galleries of Scotland, with music by Alex Johnston and sound mixed by Jenny Ek. Special thanks to all staff who participated in production.
