It brings together contributions on conservation and restoration of works of art from chemists, physicists, geologists, art historians, restorers and archaeologists.

The topics addressed are amongst others:

• New technological developments
  
• In vitro experimental set-ups and degradation mechanisms
  
• In situ experiments and mobile instrumentation
  
• Non-invasive and non-destructive analysis
  
• Imaging techniques
  
• Environmental issues on the preservation of art and archaeological objects
