ICOM-CC Triennial Meeting

"Our Cultural Past - Your Future!"
ICOM-CC 14th Triennial Meeting
The Hague 12-16 September 2005

The Fourteenth Triennial Meeting of ICOM"s Committee for
Conservation, ICOM-CC, will be held in The Hague in the Netherlands
from 12-16 September 2005. The main subject will be the exploration
and design of different strategies and methods aimed at involving
the public in issues surrounding Cultural Heritage and its
preservation.

We are glad to inform you about the programme for the plenary
sessions, the excursions on Wednesday afternoon and the
post-conference tours.

Involvement of Society in Conservation of Cultural Heritage" is the
theme of the Monday plenary sessions. We found, among others,
Professor Amareswar Galla and Dr. Mohammed Toure prepared to speak.
They will approach the theme from an economical, a political and a
historical point of view. After that, Prof. dr. Frans Grijzenhout
and Liesbeth Helmus will focus on some Dutch cases. Special
attention is being paid to the profession and how it can adapt to
the modern climate by becoming more transparent and receptive, and
on the other hand, how the public can be made to understand the
reasoning behind conservation methods.

Wednesday morning is reserved for the Museum Forum on Museum Risk
Management. In the afternoon one can choose from 27 excursions to
various locations in and around The Hague. They all are devoted to
conservation and restoration and specially arranged for participants
of the congress.

The Working Groups of ICOM-CC play an important role at the 14th
Triennial Meeting. They meet several times during the congress and
all have their own programme, to be announced later. The papers are
published in a two-volume set including CD-ROM, which you will
receive before the congress.
