ORGANIZER OF THE SPECIALIZED SEMINAR
“Our History” and restorer Andrej Šumbera
We are pleased to share an invitation to a single-topic seminar marking the 40th anniversary of the discovery of the RELIQUARY OF SAINT MAURUS. The aim of the seminar is to present the entire issue in detail – restoration, arts and crafts, historical and analytical research, including photo documentation and its subsequent use in research, PR, and 3D animations. The format of the seminar will allow for longer lectures and free, informal discussion.
