Restoration Day

Exhibition Talk in "Conservation in Dialogue"

Blick in die temporäre Ausstellung "Restaurierung im Dialog" – Blick in die temporäre Ausstellung "Restaurierung im Dialog"

Conservation in Dialogue: Conservation is a fascinating, yet often hidden, field in museum work. What is preserved, how, and who makes the decisions? The exhibition at the Humboldt Forum explores the various aspects of this important work.

The exhibition features two totem poles from Canada’s Northwest Coast, an ornate lacquer cabinet from the Qing Dynasty, a ceremonial pipe belonging to the Omaha (Umoⁿhoⁿ) Nation of Nebraska, and a Mongolian shrine. These four projects, accompanied by an informative brochure, provide fascinating insights into the questions and methods involved in museum conservation. On the European Day of Museum Conservation the curatorial team will offer insights into the featured conservation projects and offer tours of the conservation workshops at the Humboldt Forum.

2:00 p.m.: The Totem Poles of the Haida and Tsimshian First Nations – an exhibition talk with Mira Dallige-Smith and Sebastian Kolberg

3:00 p.m.: A Cabinet in Coromandel Lacquer Technique – an exhibition talk with Ulrike Stelzer

4:00 p.m.: An Omaha Ceremonial Pipe – an exhibition talk with Mira Dallige-Smith, Sebastian Kolberg, and Elisabeth Seyerl-Langkamp
