“Historic Reproduction Frames” A Talk with Allison Jackson, Frame Conservator, Harvard Art Museums

05.23.24 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

This talk will focus on a selection of historic reproduction frames that have been made at the Old Schwamb Mill for the Harvard Art Museums over the past decade.

Allison Jackson is a second-generation gilding conservator and was appointed the Straus Center’s first frame conservator. In 2012, she began preparing the frame collection for the reopening of the Museums in 2014, and since then has worked on more than 150 frames. In 2016, she was awarded the Nigel Seeley Fellowship by the Royal Oak Foundation.

 

This program is offered by the Old Schwamb Mill as part of the Hidden Treasures Festival of Nature, Culture & History, an annual month-long celebration showcasing events and activities hosted by local partners celebrating the unique places, objects, and stories of the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area. Hidden Treasures programs are free and open to the public. Click to discover more Hidden Treasures!
