University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will treat 16 Asian paintings in scroll and folding-screen formats. The Ackland’s collection of Asian paintings is one of the finest in the Southeast, and the paintings chosen for this project are among the most significant in the collection. Each painting is in fragile condition and is at risk every time a scroll is unrolled or a screen is unfolded. Treatment will allow the museum to share these paintings with its community through exhibitions and programs.
