Conservation of a King
Season 3 Episode 7 | 5m 54sVideo has Closed Captions
A new statue arrives at the NC Museum of Art. We follow its journey to the museum floor.
A major work by the 19th century artist William Story has been acquired by the NC Museum of Art. The 4-ton statue depicts King Saul under the influence of the evil spirit. Carved in 1865, the statue spent more than a century in anonymity in a British boarding school before traveling to the US, where the museum's conservator prepared the King for a home at the NCMA.
