2010 Mountmaking Forum – Save the Date

Please mark your calendars for the 2nd International Mountmakers Forum to be held at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC on May 5-6, 2010.

The Forum will follow and expand on the groundwork laid by the first Forum, held at the Getty in 2008, by offering one day of talks relating to the principles, application and research of mountmaking for museum objects followed by a second full day of tours of exhibit fabrication workshops and related exhibits at various Smithsonian museums and support sites.

The Forum will once again be free of charge, but registration will be required. All presenters and attendees will be responsible for their own transportation, meals and hotel accommodations. More detailed information will be sent in a few months.
