Fright at First Sight: Scary Objects & Treatments

SPECIAL DATE: Friday, October 31, 10:30am

This Halloween, join the full ICA coven for a spine-tingling journey into the shadowy side of art conservation. From “possessed” objects with eerie backstories, to artworks that arrived in nightmarish condition, to treatments that took terrifying turns before finding resolution—our conservators will share some of the most hair-raising moments from the lab. These real-life conservation horror stories will make you gasp, cringe, and maybe even laugh, while offering insight into the challenges, creativity, and resilience required to care for cultural heritage. Perfect for those who love a good scare and a behind-the-scenes peek at the conservation field, this session promises thrills, chills, and a newfound appreciation for the work that goes into saving art from the brink.

As always, ICA's monthly webinars are free, but registration is required.
