Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute -
http://www.si.edu/mci/index.html
is the web site of the Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute. This is a
great site for those who love technical stuff and have a desire to learn about
conservation of art materials. I went there to look up the pros and cons of
varnishing an acrylic painting, and learned some very useful information. It is
a treasure trove of interesting topics, for anyone interested in going deeper
into the technical and physico-chemical aspects of our work.
