Faux Marble with Malcolm Robson
Malcolm Robson, a fifth generation master grainer, marbled the walls and columns in the atrium and grained all of the doors and windows of the Museum's first and second floors in 1976. He returns periodically for maintenance and repair of his work. We were fortunate to be able to record his recent repair work on some water-damaged walls in the upper atrium to serve as an introduction to the techniques that he uses. We hope that you will find the 25 minute video that follows both informative and enjoyable.
