Conserving Canvas – Skokloster Summer Institute

Skokloster Castle received this prestigious grant from the Getty Foundation in 2018. The grant was used to organise an international seminar on 3 – 15 June 2019 for conservators and curators.

A total of 16 professional conservators and curators had the opportunity to participate in this 13-day seminar. Lectures and workshops on conservation and collection management were led by an international group of experienced specialists in the field.

The seminar was led by Skokloster Castle’s conservation officer Ann-Cathrin Rothlind as project manager and curator Annika Williams, who was responsible for the programme.
