The Escuela de Conservación y Restauración de Occidente (ECRO), the conservation-restoration school of Guadalajara in Mexico, is hosting a conference to celebrate its ten year anniversary.
For many years, IRPA/KIK has collaborated with this school. Amongst other activities, one of our staff visited ECRO to teach a course on preventive conservation, while a Mexican professor came to Brussels for an internship.
To mark this fruitful collaboration, ECRO has invited IRPA/KIK to participate in the conference. Our staff will give lectures on the following topics : the conservation-restoration profession, wooden sculptures and altarpieces, IRPA/KIK's Laboratories Department, preventive conservation and the restoration of easel paintings at IRPA/KIK.
