Discover the evolution of the restoration of the altarpiece by the Brussels sculptor Jan II Bormanen from the church of San Nazaro Maggiore, in Milan, but also the painting of the Virgin and Child surrounded by saints by Peter Paul Rubens, as well as the "Heritage in Danger (CHrisis)" projects, which works on recovery actions and on improving preparedness and risk management for affected sites, "Agato", an online tool specifically designed for heritage collection managers, and a presentation on the impact of climate change on heritage.
This day is therefore an opportunity to network to better meet the needs of the heritage sector. We have a lot to show you, but above all we want to hear from you. Come and share your passion for heritage with your colleagues in the sector on Friday 3 March 2023.
