Professional exchange

I am a textile conservator working as a member of a team of 3
textile and 2 objects conservators at the Art History Museum in
Vienna. I am in charge of of the collections Wagenburg and
Monturdepot. The Wagenburg houses the royal carriages while the
Monturdepot contains a large collection of costumes that were in use
during the Habsburg reign. (learn more about the museum at

We have always been interested in exchanging knowledge and ideas
with other conservators on a national and international level. In
1998, we organised a first professional exchange with the
conservation department of the National Museum of Budapest
(Hungary). In that case, a textile conservator spent a month with
the team in Vienna while I worked with the team of conservators in
Budapest.

For the upcoming year of 2003/04, we are looking for a textile
conservator who works with a similar collection in order to organise
a professional exchange with me, Marianne Novotny, a textile
conservator of 13 years of experience. The duration of the exchange
should be of a minimum of 1 month to up to a year.
