Have you ever wondered why some bronzes turn green while others remain a rich, glossy brown? Join the museum’s conservator of objects, Colleen Snyder, for an exploration of the museum’s collection of cast bronzes. Learn about how natural and man-made patinas are formed—from Rodin’s The Thinker to the more than 2,000-year-old Cleveland Apollo—and discuss how conservators treat and preserve these surfaces for future generations.
