Paintings in Perpetuity
There are thousands of artworks in the Turnbull Library's collections. Whether purchased or donated, they all tell us something about New Zealand.
Sometimes framed oil paintings come into the collections in need of treatment. Their preservation is managed in specialist facilities that keep them stable, but there is no active programme to clean, repair or glaze.
The Turnbull Endowment Trust would love to see these works available for display and with your help, we can make that a reality.
The Turnbull Library has identified several oils in need of specialist attention. From cleaning to repair, glazing to framing, the needs vary. And so do the costs.
