Show Notes
Art conservators at the DeYoung Museum are meticulously restoring ancient Etruscan artifacts for an upcoming exhibit at the Legion of Honor. By combining historical clues from early archaeologists with modern technology, theyre preparing items like sarcophagus lids for display. The Etruscans, who ruled central Italy before Rome, were known for their stunning everyday objects and tomb goods, including black ceramics called bucchero. Conservators use old markings to precisely match fragments, and digital scans and 3D printed models ensure a perfect fit. In some cases, teams handcraft missing parts to preserve the originals. The exhibit opens May second and runs through September twentieth, offering visitors a chance to connect with Etruscan artistry firsthand.
