WORKSHOP FFCR

TUESDAY THE 28TH JANUARY - 17h30 - 18h15 - Workshop room Conservation and restoration operations carried out in public   In recent years, the interest shown by the public for the secret life of works, led some institutions in France and around the world to make accessible to the public conservation and resotarion sites. The mediatization of the establishment of a space for the conservation-restoration of Rembrandt's Ronde de Nuit in the Rikjsmusem halls, has attracted many comments in the press and on social networks. What about French museums? What are the challenges of setting up such operations for them, and what adjustments and constraints does this represent for the professionals involved in the works? This Round Table brings together two institutions that have already planned mediation operations, as well as the conservators who intervened in this context, to discuss different aspects: the logistics implementation of operations, the feedback from the public and the public or private funders, the experience of working in public for conservators, or the mediatization of operations most often carried out in the shadows, and a profession whose actions remain quite enigmatic for the general public. A debate with the audience will then be held to discuss the interests but also the possible limits of these operations. SPEAKERS :
