Today we're featuring "Lessons Learned: Reflecting on the Theory and Practice of Mosaic Conservation" https://gty.art/48kuKoq

This volume contains the papers from the 9th triennial meeting of the International Committee for the Conservation of Mosaics (ICCM Foundation), organized by the GCI and the Institut National du Patrimoine - المعهد الوطني للتراث بتونس, held in 2005 in Hammamet, Tunisia. The papers focus on assessing past practices of mosaic conservation, both in situ and in museums.

The volume’s fifty-three papers, with contributions from over eighty leading professionals in the field, reflect the conference’s principal themes: Evaluating Mosaic Practice, Caring for Mosaics in Museums, Documenting and Assessing Sites at Risk, Managing Sites with Mosaics, Sheltering Mosaics, Training of Conservation Practitioners, and Case Studies. Papers are presented in either English or French, with abstracts of all papers in both languages.
