Thank you for joining us for #AskAConservator-Day. If you want to find out more about conservation at RAMM, then check out the videos about the conservation of an 18thC dress and the Seaton Down Hoard on our YouTube channel:

Being a conservator can be a bit like being a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, using magnifying glasses and UV lights to examine objects. This is how we found out that the animal heads on this salt cellar are the work of a past conservator. #AskAConservator

A piece of royal history at RAMM is a 1902 Coronation Chocolate Bar. A large part of the daily work of a conservator is doing research on how to keep fragile objects stable in storage and keeping the pests away. How long would you save a bar of chocolate for? 🍫 #AskAConservator

In conservation you also have the absolute privilege to work with amazing communities and people bringing objects to life. Here is our Ganesh statue taking part in Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations with Exeter’s Hindu community. #AskAConservator

As a conservator, you sometimes find yourself on little adventures—even in the museum’s beautiful garden! 🌿 Today’s quest? Finding the perfect weathered hawthorn thorns to help clean a medieval gemellion (wash basin). #AskAConservator

As part of your conservation job, you might also carry out some unusual ‘object treatments’ like donning Gerald with a party hat for his 100th birthday or dressing up Prince Albert for RAMM’s 150th birthday celebrations. #AskAConservator

As a conservator you might work on some weird and wonderful objects—presenting the asparagus tongs! Who knew that the Victorians needed a very specific utensil to handle asparagus and why are there not specific tongs for carrots or beans? #AskAConservator #ConservationJourney

Textile conservator Anne found this notice for an auction in Bristol in 1760 in the cuff of one of our 18thC riding habits. So did a person attending the auction wear the riding habit? Was the riding habit acquired at the auction? We might never know... #AskAConservator #textiles

'During my conservation placement at RAMM I'm not only learning hands-on skills but also the intricacies of museum ops from exhibit prep to conservation planning. Seeing visitors connect with objects I'm helping preserve makes the experience even more rewarding.' #AskAConservator
