Becoming a Museum Conservator

The Yale Center for British Art presents an online panel discussion for college students who are interested in pursuing a career in museum conservation. The session brings together three professional conservators who will share their different pathways to becoming a conservator, discuss the wide range of duties they perform within their respective positions, and reflect on the opportunities and roadblocks they encountered on their journey into conservation. Participants will be able to ask questions using the online Q&A feature, and closed captioning will be available.

Steve McQueen: Lynching Tree

Across a diverse body of work spanning thirty years, Black British artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen (b. 1969, London) has documented stories of incarceration and violence, intimacy and vulnerability. On October 28 and 29, the Yale Center for British Art will convene an international symposium that investigates the range of McQueen’s artistic and film practice. To coincide with and precede the program, a single work by the artist will be on view.

Student Guide Tour | Steve McQueen: Lynching Tree

Join our student guides to learn more about the installation of Steve McQueen: Lynching Tree.
Lynching Tree (2013) is a color photograph mounted in a lightbox that depicts an old tree with thick, sprawling branches. The tree stands in a clearing littered with leaves and grass and is surrounded by bushes and scrawny saplings. Only the title of the image reveals the horror of this apparently pastoral scene. The tree was used as a gallows for enslaved Black people; the unmarked graves of victims lie beneath it.
