 My name's Alexa and I am the Conservation Manager for Exhibitions and Loans. So this is a folio from the manuscript by Leonardo da Vinci. I will be framing it in preparation for the upcoming exhibition on animals. While he's still in his storage pocket, I've made a new Melonix pocket that's slightly smaller than the frame that he will fit in and I'm going to mark out exactly where I want to cut out the window for the Melonix. So now that I've marked that out, I can put that aside now. So now I need to take folio out of its storage pocket and it is spot welded in so I just need to release those spots. I've removed enough that I can just slide it out now. This part can be a little bit tricky, just getting the folio lined up into the window. The folio is positioned into the new window now so I need to spot weld the Melonix around the edges just so it won't move. One of the reasons that I love working in exhibitions is because you're preparing it to be viewed by hopefully thousands of people and it's nice to think that your work will be appreciated. When I was a child we were dragged through every museum and historical house through all of our travels and holidays and I suppose it sort of became ingrained and I just love it. So now that I've cut the window I do like to just check that it is the right size and it looks good so I can then attach it. You can do some magic things in conservation. It's amazing what has survived and what we keep and what we can do with them so I just love it.
