Ongoing: Conserving Rare Kayaks in the Gallery

For the first time, Peabody Museum visitors will be able to see conservators at work in a specially prepared gallery space. America's only known Alutiiq warrior kayak is the centerpiece of a new conservation effort. Peabody Museum curators and conservators will be collaborating with Alaska’s Alutiiq Museum and Alfred Naumoff, the last traditionally trained Kodiak Alutiiq kayak maker, in the study and conservation of the collections over the next two years.
