Archives

Sometimes the most exciting bits of museums are the bits you (sadly!) don't get to explore. I have been routing through the archives t the Lady Lever Gallery on the Wirral to find out all the juicy gossip on the painting in the gallery. How much they cost to buy, who they used to belong to and how long it would take someone to restore a painting to its former glory. The archives are a truly fascinating resource to explore. Jealous? No need! Just because you can't pop in and read the material on a normal museum visit, does t mean you can't access this info. Public collections have public access. All you need to do is contact the museums curator or archivist about a painting or art object you are interested in an they will help you uncover it's secrets!
