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.

The conference was organised by the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Conservation Section in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam, the University of Oslo and the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands.
