Conservation plays an essential part in the care and preservation of objects in the Temple Newsam collections and
their presentation to the public in the context of a great country house. It can make the difference between being
able to show an object or keeping it in store. Without it, objects and their stories could be lost to us forever.
At Temple Newsam, a continuing programme of conservation and restoration projects led by curatorial staff and
in-house conservators ensures that the museum is a beacon of excellence in the area of collections care.
