Crossroads of Forensic Science and Cultural Heritage Chemistry
Description:
Cultural heritage chemists utilize analytical techniques and an investigative mindset in their pursuit to uncover the hidden secrets of artworks and artifacts that would be immediately recognizable to their allied professionals in forensic scientists. This symposium highlights the scientific overlap that exist between art analyses and crime scene investigations.
Organizer: Gregory Smith - Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields
Biography: Dr. Smith designed, outfitted, and now operates the conservation science laboratory at the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields where he conducts technical studies of the museum’s collections.
