The Indianapolis Museum of Art announced on October 15, 2008 plans for the establishment of a state-of-the-art conservation science laboratory. Intended for the purpose of conducting in-depth art-historical research through technical means, Lilly Endowment Inc. awarded the museum a $2,613,450 grant for the facility.
Once constructed, the new laboratory will enable conservators, scientists and curators to conduct thorough investigations into the IMA's 54,000 objects, including African and Egyptian statuary, Asian ceramics, modern art glass, works on paper and those composed of more recent materials.
