Art ‘27
5-7 July 2027 The Royal Society of Arts, London, UK
Incorporating the international workshop ‘Analysing Art: New Technologies – New Applications’. Bringing together conservationists, restorers, curators, academics, government and business leaders. | ||
| Non-intrusive inspection, assessment and evaluation have become crucial methods in the conservation and sustainability of art and cultural heritage. With the aim of promoting education and competence in this field, the Art ‘27 Conference represents one of the most creative initiatives in this area. The effective multidisciplinary cooperation among experts will lead to continuous development of new scientific methods in the fields of preservation, restoration and analysis of cultural and historical artworks. Highlighting advances in NDT for the conservation of art, the international workshop ‘Analysing Art: New Technologies – New Solutions’ is, for 2027, being incorporated into the Art ‘27 Conference to bring together conservationists, restorers, | curators, academics, government and business leaders to increase development work in art and cultural heritage conservation technologies. The International Committee for Non-Destructive Testing (ICNDT) Specialist International Group ‘Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) of Art and Cultural Heritage’ has, since 2016, successfully organised this series of workshops, hosted in London (2016), St Petersburg (2018), Florence (2022) and Antwerp (2025), and it has become an important platform for experts from all over the world to meet and tackle problems and issues to achieve the common goal of the preservation and study of cultural and historical heritage. | |
