Ghent Altarpiece International Study Day

September 11, 2018
Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage and Ghent University
Aula Academica, Voldersstraat 9
Ghent

In the morning session, the speakers will present the spectacular results of the study and conservation of the Ghent Altarpiece’s exterior panels and frames and offer a preview of the study results of the lower interior register. This is followed by an introduction to the website Closer to van Eyck and the complementary project Van Eyck Research in OpeN Access. After lunch, a visit is proposed to the Ghent Altarpiece at St Bavo’s Cathedral. At the Museum of Fine Arts you can subsequently visit the conservation treatment of the polyptych’s lower interior register.
