Conservation Treatment of Paintings

Twin Cities Art Care expertly treats paintings of all types, from Old Master oil paintings on canvas or tempera panel paintings, to modern acrylics or multimedia works on a variety of substrates. Our conservators are also experienced in treating murals of various types (on wood/composite boards, on exterior walls, or indoor walls). We love treating paintings made by your relatives, as well as paintings from museum collections. We also repair and restore historic frames.

Conservation Treatment of Objects

Our conservators are skilled an experienced in treating a wide variety of three-dimensional and composite materials. This may include archaeological ceramics, decorative art objects, large sculptures, metals (from corroded iron to highly polished jewelry), historic leather items, sculpture, and more.

Consultation and Other Services

Twin Cities Art Care can perform various types of assessments to help with collections care planning, from CAP surveys, to general preservation assessments, to advising on storage environments, to item level collection condition surveys and less formal advising or brainstorming sessions on prioritizing collection needs. Feel free to reach out if there's an aspect of collections care you'd like us to help with, and we can see how TCAC can assist or we can refer you to other professionals who may better fit your needs.

Presentations and Workshops

We can provide workshops and trainings on collections care methods (such as preventive care, storage supports, or more) for collections care professionals, or give presentations about conservation and collections care to your group of museum professionals, special interest groups, or the general public.
