Did you know that freezing is a common pest management practice for many museums due to its effectiveness in eliminating insects that can damage collections. You can safely freeze a wide variety of objects, from paper to textiles to animal hides. But there are objects that shouldn’t be frozen, such as oil paintings, glass plate negatives, many audiovisual materials, and other types of mixed media. Our Conservation Departmen
