Neuroaesthetics reveals that viewing restored art triggers dopamine, activates the default mode network, and measurably reduces cortisol. The science behind why fine art conservation is a service to the human condition.
Conservation
As cultural institutions move online, the physical act of conservation takes on new meaning. We explore how traditional methods intersect with contemporary preservation challenges.
