Creative Conservators Kit

This special, free, family-friendly kit helps you and your kids discover how we conserve the Queen's House and its artworks.

Conservation takes care of the objects and protects them from 'agents of deterioration', things that can cause damage to the artworks. With this kit you can discover what these agents are and how to protect the Queen's House and its collections by using the tools provided – and your imagination!
