Synopsis

The proceedings of an international conference held at The British Museum in September 2001. The 32 papers discuss the history of the conservation of antiquities, and of fine and applied art from the 18th to the 20th centuries from three different viewpoints: the contributions made by a number of famous (or not so famous) individuals; the history of conservation techniques; and the history of conservation in several institutions around the world. Some papers included in the volume also look to the future of the conservation profession and of conservation practice in a changing world which is questioning the values of the past.
