The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Norway is pleased to announce the conference: Bridging the gap – synergies between art history and conservation. The conference will be organised in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam, the University of Oslo and the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands and will be followed by a peer-reviewed publication. The two-day conference will be held at the new National Museum in Oslo on the 23–24 of November 2023.

Bridging the gap – synergies between art history and conservation aims to bring forth new research in conservation and conservation science by highlighting the benefits of multidisciplinarity. The scientific committee invites conservators, art historians, educators and heritage scientists alike to present research from collaborative projects that aid our understanding, interpretation and dissemination of art, architecture and design. We envision a three-session program.

15 April 2023: Deadline for abstracts for papers and posters.
