Bridging the Gap: Synergies between Art History and Conservation

This volume contains papers and posters presented at the conference Bridging the Gap: Synergies between Art History and Conservation, which was held at the National Museum, Oslo, 23–24 November 2023.

The conference emerged from the museum’s commitment to a multidisciplinary approach, a cornerstone of the preparations for its newly opened collection exhibition. This volume captures the essence of the conference and the enthusiasm of its participants. It serves as a testament to the transformative power of multidisciplinary approaches and their ability to illuminate new facets of art history, science and conservation.
