这项拨款将由Mfah养护部主席DavidBomford和AndrewW.MellonResearch科学家CorinaRogge监督。它支持在Mfah、Mensil收集和水稻大学之间继续开展协作，以分享2006年发起的资源、研究和专门知识，并最近扩大到休斯顿大学。自合作下开始的研究一直延伸到在全国范围内与博物馆合作，包括GettyConservationInstitute、大都会艺术博物馆、现代艺术博物馆、哈佛艺术博物馆和芝加哥艺术学院。

This grant will be overseen by David Bomford, chairman of the MFAH department of conservation; and Andrew W. Mellon Research Scientist Corina Rogge. It supports a continuing collaboration between the MFAH, the Menil Collection, and Rice University to share resources, research, and expertise initiated in 2006 and recently expanded to the University of Houston. Research begun under the collaboration has since been extended to working with museums nationally, including the Getty Conservation Institute, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, Harvard Art Museums, and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Mfah的主任GaryTinterrow说，“新的布莱弗基金会(BlaufferFoundationCenterforConservation)------在任何地方----只有少数目的建造的博物馆保护建筑----极大地提升了我们的保护设施，使我们杰出的艺术保育人员和科学家达到了卓越的水平。该中心的建成还使我们更接近于2020年将博物馆设施统一为一个连续14英亩的主校区的目标。”是目前在北美正在进行的最大的文化项目，在新建筑中大约有50万平方英尺。

Gary Tinterow, director of the MFAH, said, “The new Blaffer Foundation Center for Conservation— one of just a handful of purpose-built museum conservation buildings anywhere—dramatically elevates our conservation facilities to the distinguished level of our extraordinary art conservators and scientists. The completion of the center also brings us one step closer to our goal of unifying the Museum’s facilities into one contiguous, 14-acre main campus in 2020.” That campus transformation is the largest cultural project currently underway in North America, with some 500,000 square feet in new construction.

“我们的团队现在可以轻松地在Mfah的所有地区进行协作--从主要校区的集合到我们的装饰艺术之家博物馆、Rienzi和BayouwbourCollectionandGardens（使用最先进的技术）在设计的空间中使用最先进的技术，专门针对博物馆的各种收藏，”说，Bomford博士。“MellonGrant现在与新设施携手合作，确保博物馆能够继续支持和分享罗格博士为我们的项目和倡议带来的专业知识，特别是对20世纪和21世纪艺术的材料、治疗和技术的处理。”

“Our team can now easily collaborate across all areas of the MFAH—from the collections on the main campus to those in our decorative-arts house museums, Rienzi and Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens—using the most advanced technology in a space that was designed with the conservation and care of the Museum’s varied collections specifically in mind,” said Dr. Bomford. “Hand-in-hand with the new facility, the Mellon grant now assures that the Museum can continue to support and share the expertise that Dr. Rogge has brought to our projects and initiatives, in particular, those addressing the materials, treatments, and techniques of 20th- and 21st-century art.”
