museums in london Fixing Bubbles in Diorama Backgrounds

The background paintings in three dioramas had peeled away in places, causing noticeable bubbling—and a distraction from the seamless illusion of space and sky intended by the original artist. Paintings conservator Harriet Irgang explains how she smoothed and reattached canvases to the supporting walls before touching up the paintings with paints carefully mixed to match original hues.

The restored Hall of North American Mammals reopened October 2012.
