University of Rochester (Memorial Art Gallery)

The Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester will treat and re-house 22 high-priority Asian miniature paintings from its permanent collection that, due to their current condition, are precluded from exhibition. Following the conservation treatment, the museum will develop an exhibition plan incorporating the paintings into a regular exhibition rotation schedule for light-sensitive objects in the Asian galleries. This project will make these diverse Indian, Persian, and Nepalese paintings, once again available to the public.
