On October 28, 2020, the interdisciplinary Inn-O-Kultur forum and the LVR-Landes Museum Bonn are offering an in-person workshop in Bonn on the topic of “Consolidation and coating – new approaches to the long-term preservation of archaeological cultural assets”. The three focal points include consolidation: Material preservation for fragile and damaged surfaces; Coating: Long-term, transparent and reversible protection against damaging environmental influences; and a change of perspective: what innovative approaches to consolidation and preservation are there in other sectors?

The Inn-O-Kultur forum is known for promoting dialog between restoration/conservation and monument preservation with materials science, surface technology and testing and analysis methods. Together with the LVR-Landes Museum Bonn, they are now highlighting current approaches to the protection of archaeological objects made of inorganic and organic materials. In addition to a variety of lectures and a poster talk, the program includes a guided tour of the restoration workshops at the LVR-Landesmuseum Bonn.

There are currently still places available for the workshop. Anyone interested can find out more and register at https://www.innokultur.de/veranstaltungen-2/.
