The newly expanded Philadelphia Museum of Art “now offers something grand that the public will see only indirectly – through the benefits conferred on thousands of works of art” in its “vastly enlarged conservation facilities for paintings, works on paper, photographs, and costumes and textiles. For the museum’s paper and textile conservators, who have previously labored in quarters that charitably could be called cramped, the opening means they will finally have space to work on quilts and screens, large drawings and gowns, throws and scrolls.”
