Learn about the bells of San Xavier and the work of conservation

Patronato San Xavier’s Mission Bells Project | The Presidio Bell





Join us for a site visit to the Arizona State Museum’s Conservation Laboratory to meet Dr. Nancy Odegaard and the conservation team treating Mission San Xavier’s 18th century Presidio Bell. This bell, which hangs above the entrance to the Mortuary Chapel, is unlocking secrets through its treatment at the Lab which will help guide conservators in their planning to address 3 bronze bells hanging in the West Tower.
