Through the project, the Yale University Gallery of Art conducted two conservation training workshops for National Museum Lagos conservators and staff of Yaba College of Technology Lagos, helping them preserve Nigerian historic artifacts through advanced storage, documentation, and treatment techniques, a statement from the US consulate said on Tuesday.
The workshops in Lagos were led by conservators from the Yale University Art Gallery and the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art with additional training provided for several Nigerian museum conservators in the United States at the Yale University Art Gallery.
