BYU Museum of Art

In this short documentary, we follow Rachel Maughan as she has a once-in-a-lifetime experience working on replicas of the Gates of Paradise at the BYU Museum of Art. (MOA) As an art student working alongside faculty mentors and fellow students, Rachel helped restore the 17-foot plaster casts now displayed in the BYU Museum of Art (MOA). Through this hands-on experience, which closed out the MOA's 10-year restoration project, Rachel discovered a renewed sense of purpose, deep gratitude and confidence that she was on a path worth walking.
