Paul Getty Museum—Jerry Podany, Eduardo Sánchez, and Marie Svoboda—reveal how they are studying and treating spectacular ancient artworks on loan to the Museum from institutions around the world and on view at the Getty Villa. You'll learn about the conservation of four-foot-tall Greek vases, a hoard of Roman silver, and an ancient bust of the goddess Persephone, and hear how a rare marble sculpture from Sicily is being protected from earthquakes.
