Brittany Murray

Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation

Biography

Brittany graduated in 2016 from New College of Florida with a BA in Art History. Her senior thesis investigated the history, cultural significance, and conservation of Jan and Hubert van Eyck’s The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb. While writing her thesis, Brittany interned in the conservation lab at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, where she performed her first treatment--spit cleaning an early 20th-century ormolu lantern. Subsequently, Brittany has interned at a number of institutions, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Glenstone Museum, and the United States Holocasut Memorial Museum. At USHMM, she discovered her love of book and paper conservation. She hopes to one day bring her skillset to her family's native Kingston, Jamaica.
