In order to bring thousands of treasures from the East to the galleries of the Smithsonian in downtown Washington, D.C., several critical and careful steps toward ensuring the objects' continued longevity must be taken.

Love the video :o) Did you add anything to the water before brushing it on the 16th century painting? I would think DC tap or for that matter water with Florine would do more damage then say spring water... Is the painting on display yet? I want to come see it :o)

Not going to lie. I totally had a heart attack when the woman started brushing water all over the Chinese painting. Haha!
