In 2010, the Museum embarked on a significant research project with colleagues in the Departments of Anthropology and Physics and Applied Radiation Science. The goal was to undertake a study of several Old Master works in the Museum’s collection through various physical testing methods afforded by the unique equipment available on the campus of McMaster University.

The Unvarnished Truth Project is funded through the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Access to Heritage Program.
