13 schools in Chippenham have gone ape this term helping Bristol Zoo Gardens to celebrate its 175th anniversary through a creative and innovative mass public art project.

 


The Objects Conservation team have got a particularly large challenge in the labs at the moment in the form of a Roman ceramic vessel measuring approximately 33 inches high (approximately hip height).

 

The vessel was found at Highworth Farm in Swindon and originally came into the conservation labs in 2008 for assessment. Since then Swindon Museum & Art Gallery has been working hard on securing funding for the conservation work and hope to put the object on display later in the year.
