Are you joining us for the Silver Swan Study Week? Starting on Tuesday 5 October, visitors will be able to watch a group of specialist conservators and curators dismantle the Silver Swan as the Museum explores the mechanical condition of this iconic object, ahead of creating a conservation plan for its preservation. There will be daily Q&As in the gallery, as well as Zoom panel discussions that you can join in from the comfort of your own home.
