The Conservation Department, Die Neue Sammlung – The International Design Museum Munich – is pleased to announce the subsequent event of our last year, very enthusiastically received, international conference FUTURE TALKS 009:

FUTURE TALKS 011. Technology and Conservation of Modern Materials in Design to be held at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, Germany.
Because of the great response to the first event (www.die-neue-sammlung.de/event, 200 participants from 15 countries), FUTURE TALKS 011 will discuss technology and conservation of modern materials over three days. On the first day the conference will focus on technology, design and production processes of modern materials and their consequences on ageing, degradation and failure of design objects. The following two days will highlight the state-of-the-art of scientific research and focuses on practical treatments in the conservation of design objects made of modern materials.
