Stories from the Stoop: Painting a new path forward

Before artisans knew of their danger, toxic materials like lead, arsenic, and mercury were used in the creation of illuminated manuscripts. A new exhibit at the Walters Art Museum titled, "If Books Could Kill" spotlights the hidden dangers of these artifacts and describes the scientific methods used to identify toxic materials. 

We speak with Lynley Anne Herbert, the Robert and Nancy Hall Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts, and conservation scientist Annette S. Ortiz Miranda.

"If Books Could Kill" opens December 18, 2024 and runs through August 5, 2025.
