Symposium

This year, the Tyrolean provincial museums are hosting the annual meeting of the members of ICOM Glass. The theme is “Glass in Tyrol”.

The beginnings of Tyrolean glass production, processing and refinement date back to the Middle Ages. For one week, international glass experts will have the opportunity to inform themselves about glass production in Tyrol and to exchange ideas. The organiser ICOM Glass, together with the Tyrolean Provincial Museums and the Institute for the Study of the Habsburg Monarchy and the Balkan Region at the Austrian Academy of Sciences(Corpus Vitrearum project), has put together a varied programme with lectures and excursions.

Participation in the lectures is open to all interested parties, while participation in the excursions is only possible for registered ICOM Glass members and invited guests for organisational reasons.

All lectures and excursions will be held in English.
