Conservation plays an important role in the preparation of artworks for exhibitions. Paintings may need conservation treatment prior to their display and all exhibited works require condition reports both before and after being exhibited. Conservation considerations are taken into account when artworks are crated and transported and also in controlling the environmental conditions of exhibition and storage spaces. Conservators may be expected to courier works and accompany them to institutions borrowing them for special exhibitions. For example, works from the permanent collection were loaned to the Nobel Peace center for the Strengths and Convictions exhibition. Dame Laura Knight Flying the Kite, was loaned to the Yale Center for British Art, for the exhibition titled Edwardian Opulence.
