COVID-19 Update: The COVID-19 emergency affects human health and safety foremost, and we are closely following the recommendations of Minnesota State Governor Tim Walz and any future rulings that may be issued.
We are working together with our partner, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, to ensure the safety of all staff and artwork within our shared facility. At this time art pick-ups and drop-offs are available and conservation treatments are proceeding as proposed.
If you have any questions about current or future projects, please don’t hesitate to contact your conservator or our front office staff.
Additionally, MACC can provide you with up-to-date information as it pertains to collections care during this emergency so please don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions.
We are a resource for non-profit institutions, artists, corporations and individuals. For over 40 years, our highly-trained staff has provided museum-quality conservation treatments and collections care for art and cultural artifacts throughout the Midwest region and beyond. Conveniently located in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, all conservation treatment projects begin with an in-person examination by one of our conservators. Contact us to make an appointment.
