To become a conservator you usually have to take a postgraduate training course. There are many different courses which specialise in treating different types of object or preventive conservation. You need qualifications and interest in either art, art history or science. Look on the ICON (Institute of Conservation) website for more information. There are some alternative entry-level routes but these are less common. Volunteering at your local museum or heritage site is a great way to get some experience! We hope this helps you.
Would love to be able to work in conservation, is it difficult to get in?, and how would i go about applying for a course? I am an arts special effects BA graduate.

Hello looking for some information on art restoration. I'm thinking of doing an Ma degree in UK and would like to know upon completing a degree are there many jobs available in this sector ?
If artworks (not only paintings) were left in their original state, you would not see much of it. It is very rare to encounter an untouched artwork, most of them are not on their original canvas, are over painted, damaged, flattened, more shiny that they should be. Pushing further, the light we are using is not the one painters had in the past, hence not the same colours. Nowadays conservators are doing "minimum intervention" and would not change the painting, even when they notice something "added" on to it. When you see them painting, it is to fill hole where the original is gone, as the ground was not intented to be seen, it is not "original view", this one is lost.

I was expecting to see potato jess, hehe
Am I the only one who actually dislikes this? When it is changed, it's not original anymore to me.
I dislike and like.

They put a protective coat on before they retouch, so you can always remove the retouching and get the original work. Untouched.
J .S not really, it is more a legend than a fact really, at least in uk I can assure you they are original
Veggielista you’re statement is just wrong ! They are helping get it back to what it orginaly was
