Conservators have spent the past year carefully using a laser to clean a 6th-century Chinese stele that stood for decades in the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden in Maine. See the ongoing treatment up close, and discover the varied applications of lasers in art conservation, including removing thick layers of biological growth from this important work of art.

This program is scheduled to be an in-person event, however details may be subject to change.
