ARCHIVE - THE INVISIBLE REVEALED

INTRODUCTION

We held the "Visibility, Lighting, Conservation & Security" conference on 12th March 2009 at the Hochhauser Auditorium, V&A Museum, London. The conference was dedicated to the display and protection of exhibits in museums and galleries. The event was extremely successful, 100 delegates attended and the feedback was very positive.

CONFERENCE OUTLINE

Visibility, Lighting, Conservation & Security

The Invisible Revealed

The specification of the showcases for museums poses significant questions in terms of exhibit conservation and security whilst maximising display visibility within environmental constraints. At the same time advances in technology and design can now offer solutions to meet a wide range of client demands.

This conference; Innovative Design for Museum Display, addresses each of these topics to provide a comprehensive study for those involved in the museum showcase specification process.

Your hosts for the event will be SCHOTT, international specialists in glass and lighting products, in conjunction with ClickNetherfield, world leaders in showcase design and fabrication. Experts in their respective fields will support the event with presentations on the key areas of material selection, design, security, lighting and conservation.

The Conference will provide:

•	Expert knowledge of display and conservation issues affecting
	Museums today
•	A practical understanding of the new trends in glass and
	lighting design
•	An innovative approach to showcase design and specification
•	Guidance on improving the visibility of exhibits in showcases
•	Expert insight into the security challenges raised by fragile and
	valuable artefacts
