Friday 10 October, 2pm | Included in general admission

One of Kirkgate’s historical coaches will be undergoing conservation work between 6 – 17 October. Objects conservator Dr Alaina Schmisseur of Rook Heritage Consulting and specialist decorative arts conservator Helen Gartside-Jones will be working to conserve the object. 

Join Dr Schmisseur for a short, insightful talk about the conservation work. Learn about the work being carried out on the 200 year-old carriage, with an opportunity to ask questions.

This talk will take place on Kirkgate near the carriage and is free with admission. Booking is not required.

Prior to setting up RCH, Dr Schmisseur worked with collections at the National Museum Wales, National Railway Museum and Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute as well as numerous other heritage organisations in the UK and abroad.

There is another Conservation Talk by Dr Schmisseur on 17 October, 2pm. Discover more.
