Subject: Professional exchange
I am a textile conservator working as a member of a team of 3 textile and 2 objects conservators at the Art History Museum in Vienna. I am in charge of of the collections Wagenburg and Monturdepot. The Wagenburg houses the royal carriages while the Monturdepot contains a large collection of costumes that were in use during the Habsburg reign. (learn more about the museum at <URL:http://www.khm.at>) We have always been interested in exchanging knowledge and ideas with other conservators on a national and international level. In 1998, we organised a first professional exchange with the conservation department of the National Museum of Budapest (Hungary). In that case, a textile conservator spent a month with the team in Vienna while I worked with the team of conservators in Budapest. For the upcoming year of 2003/04, we are looking for a textile conservator who works with a similar collection in order to organise a professional exchange with me, Marianne Novotny, a textile conservator of 13 years of experience. The duration of the exchange should be of a minimum of 1 month to up to a year. Interested professionals please contact Marianne C.
