Monumental Egyptian Architecture at the Penn Museum's Conservation Lab Annex
For the reinstallation of the Ancient Egypt and Nubia Galleries, architectural elements including fragments from the palace of Merenptah (c. 1200 BCE) were moved to a large offsite storage and treatment space, the Conservation Lab Annex (CLA). Research and treatment work began in Fall 2019, making use of the space for large-object rigging and outfitting a shop for fabrication of structural elements.
