Scripps College (Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery, Scripps College)

The Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery at Scripps College will conserve five Chinese paintings in its permanent collection, rendering them beneficial as teaching resources and suitable for exhibition. The 15th-19th century paintings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties will be cleaned, remounted, and restored to their original hanging scroll format by a consulting conservator at his studio location. When the conservation is completed, the conservator will deliver a public lecture to an audience including art conservation interns; students in art history, art conservation, and Asian studies; faculty; and others. The finished works will be displayed in a public exhibition at the Clark Humanities Museum at Scripps College.
