Judy Logan: adventures of an archaeological conservator

You know that archeologists are often the ones excavating artefacts, which you can then visit in a museum. But, what happens between the excavation and the display? That’s where Judy Logan comes in. She was an archeological conservator at the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) from 1981 to 2006. She was also one of the first graduates of the Queen’s University Master of Art Conservation program. Join your hosts, Kelly Johnson and Nathalie Nadeau Mijal, as they ask Judy about working as a conservator at CCI and around the world.
