Hi all, I am looking to go into the field of art conservation, particularly working as a scientist in one of the conservation labs. I figure the best way to get into the field is going through one of the four conservation programs in the U.S. I have a undergraduate and a Master's degree in Chemistry, as well as a solid porfolio in studio art. I am currently working on my art history requirement and hopefully get some experience in conservation lab at the same time. I know that the NYU-IFA program has a language requirement, which I am currently working on in French. Since I am not extremely familiar with this field, I would love to hear from someone who is either accepted into a conservation program or working in the conservation field, of whether if I am on the right track to apply for an art conservation program. Also, is this a traditional way to be involved as a research scientist in a conservation field? Thank you!
