Useful Recommendations for Graduate Program

While art conservators usually need a master's degree before they can qualify for a position, graduate degree programs in conservation are rare and difficult to enter, with some requiring 1-3 years experience in the field. These master's degree programs in art conservation typically include courses in research methods, the structure of art materials, chemical techniques and cleaning methods.

Complete an Internship

A master's degree program in art conservation might include an internship in an art museum, through which students work with experienced conservators to assist in the restoration of art objects and artefacts.
