In the framework of the 7th International Congress Chemistry for Cultural Heritage
In keeping with the terms of reference of the Commission, the CrysAC workshop on “Provenance Studies in Art and Cultural Heritage”, to be held on July 1, 2024, from 10 am to 5 pm at the Slovak National Gallery, Riečna 1, Bratislava, Slovakia, is within the series of one-day workshops organized by the IUCr Commission on Crystallography in Art and Cultural Heritage, aimed to stimulate knowledge exchange between crystallographers, researchers and other experts interested in Cultural Heritage investigations. Different communities are invited to present reviews of established research, recent results and envisaged trends in key areas of Archaeometry and Conservation Science.
The present workshop, organised as a satellite meeting of the 7th International Congress Chemistry for Cultural Heritage (CHemCH 2024, Bratislava, Slovakia), invites scientists from research institutions, museums, and conservation bodies, in order to illustrate state-of-the-art studies focusing on determining the origin of materials (manufacturing method or natural sources) and provenance of art objects (whether in the sense of regional, workshop, or period) using methods of advanced materials analysis.
Participants who do not attend the ChemCH conference can visit the Slovak National Gallery restoration studio. During the conference, the ChemCH participants will have an excursion into the Slovak National Gallery.
There is no fee for participants, but registration is required for both in-person and remote attendees.
The workshop will be streamed, so you can watch it online using the link sent to you by e-mail after your registration.
