Sustaining Cultural Heritage Through Preventive Conservation and
Collection Care
14-18 September 2020, 10:30-13:30 (CET), on Zoom
The Institute of Conservation organises
an online Summer School with all its international partners from India to Mongolia to open a platform of academic exchange,
which also works without travelling. In the five-days lectures series, the Institute’s team and other experts present principles
and up to date topics of preventive conservation and collection care. Just to name a few examples: Gael de Guichen gives a
global perspective on the reorganization of museum storages, José Luiz Pedersoli Jr. talks about myths and taboos in risk
perception in preventive conservation, Stefan Simon shares his thoughts about the green museum, and Caitlin Southwick goes
deeper into the topic of sustainability in conservation. If you also want to participate in this online programme, please
