The Fowler invites you to a behind-the-scenes look at the ongoing research and conservation of gold weights from West Africa, currently on view in Particular Histories: Provenance Research in African Arts. Hear from staff about the collection’s care and storage in situ; then follow several objects to the lab where staff will discuss their investigations and findings. This program will include pre-recorded elements as well as a live discussion.
