Behind the SEEN: The power of X-Radiography

Museum staff share stories related to objects in the musuem’s permanent collection.

What lies beneath the surface of works of art in the Nelson-Atkins collection, and why is it helpful to see what otherwise can’t be seen?  Objects conservator, Joe Rogers and paintings conservator Mary Schafer discuss the power of X-radiography—more commonly known as X-rays—to reveal what’s hidden and assist in the conservation and preservation of art.
