Workshop on nanotechnology

Workshop

"Nanotechnologies for Cultural Conservation: Current Trends and
    Practices"
Allentown Art Museum
October 30-31, 2015,

The two-day event includes discussion of cutting-edge advances in
art conservation from leaders in the field, a public lecture, and a
hands-on workshop led by Piero Baglioni, pioneer of nano-based
conservation technologies and director of the Center for Colloid and
Surface Science (Consorzio Interuniversitario per lo Sviluppo dei
Sistemi a Grande Interfase-CSGI), the University of Florence.  There
will also be poster presentations and a discussion forum for
conservation practices.  The workshop is offered by the Allentown
Art Museum and The IDEAL Center of Lafayette College, and
cosponsored by The Samuel H. Kress Foundation.

Awards of up to $250 to defray expenses will be offered to twenty
participants who submit questions for discussion and prepare poster
presentations on the state of their collections.  The workshop thus
will serve as a professional forum for evaluating conservation
practices and encouraging exchanges.  The registration fee of $50
($25 for students) includes all workshop materials, lunch, coffee
breaks, and guided tour of the Allentown Art Museum.  Online
registration (through October 16, 2015) and a complete description
