One of my favorite new YouTube channels is Baumgartner Restoration, which really opened my eyes to the technical skill and poetic zen of the art and science of art conservation. It seems his channel resonated a bit in the art community, and I've seen a few more process-style videos of Art Conservation pop up recently. MoMa has compiled a playlist of their conservation videos and it's a bit hit or miss—some are really in-depth process videos, and other videos are cold and distant overviews of the conservation process of a work (like a minute-long video you'll observe while wandering a museum—something that seems interesting but ultimately fails to maintain your attention).
However, this video about reweaving a 1907 painting is exactly what I like—it's the union between high science and art. You don't realize how much time, skill, and effort goes into things like this while browsing a museum, and these deep dives are extremely cool.
