Bethany Palumbo, ACR
Hi all and welcome to my new site,
I am a Conservator-Restorer specialising in the preparation, restoration, and exhibition of all types of natural history collections, from tiny insects to entire dinosaur skeletons. Over the past 15 years, I have worked with some of the world’s most prestigious cultural institutions and led incredible freelance projects—expanding my expertise into collections management and large-scale exhibitions delivery.
Palumbo Conservation was founded on a strict commitment to preserving natural history collections. We blend a rigorous academic foundations with practical expertise to deliver a conservation practice that meet the highest museum standards. I am incredibly proud of this standard of care—which is why I put my name to it.
