Today’s guest is Dr Diana Tay, Principal Conservator and Founder of BARC Labs, a fine art conservation studio based in Singapore. She has over 15 years of experience in museums and collections around the world, and leads a team dedicated to redefining how art is cared for, understood, and sustained. Through BARC Labs, she continues to build a growing ecosystem that bridges research, education, and conservation.

In this episode, hosted by Nadya Wang, we learn about Diana’s journey from civil service to entrepreneurship, how she is in the business of trust, and her plans to make conservation more accessible.
