Conserving the Graces

Our Assistant Conservator helps the Three Graces stay beautiful

The sweeping stained-glass dome was created by Walter Horace Judson, standing beside the inspiring Three Graces statue by Julia Bracken Wendt, one of Los Angeles’ first prominent sculptors. Learn more: http://bit.ly/NHMLARotunda
