Object conservators specialise in multiple materials, including glass, ceramics, plastic and all types of metals, as well as the interaction between these materials.

Object conservators primarily work with the applied art and design collections. These collections contain approximately 50,000 artefacts spanning from antiquity to the present day, with the majority dating from the 13th century to the present day. The collection includes chandeliers, tableware, jewellery, silverware, modern design objects and much more.

often work with complex objects composed of different materials, and collaborate with colleagues across different departments. Such objects include architectural models, stained glass, and installations.
