The Future of Museums
This book explores―at the macro, meso and micro levels and in terms of qualitative as well as quantitative studies―the current and future role of museums for art and society. Given the dynamic developments in art and society, museums need to change in order to remain (and in some ways, regain) relevance. This relevance is in the sense of a power to influence. Additionally museums have challenges that arise in the production of art through the use of permanent and rapidly changing technologies. This book examines how museums deal with the increasing importance of performance art and social interactive art, artistic disciplines which refuse to use classical or digital artistic media in the...
Heritage Conservation and Research in India
2009 marked the 60th anniversary of the diplomatic relations of the Republic of India and the Republic of Austria. The Conservation Department of the University of Applied Arts Vienna presents this volume largely based on papers reported at the conference "Cultural Heritage Counts - Research, Conservation and Management" held in New Delhi in August, 2009. The conference was a crucial contribution initiated by the Austrian Cultural Forum New Delhi to celebrate this important jubilee. The successful and intensive cooperation of both countries in the fields of the research and conservation of cultural heritage is reflected in numerous research and conservation projects presented in this book.
Collection Care/Sammlungspflege
Prevention is an attempt to look into the future and have a positive influence on it – therefore it is one of the most important aspects in the area of collection care, the central, current field of applied research in conservation and restoration. With sustainability damage and loss are avoided, dangers averted and research conducted. Collection care is only successful, if the theory is appropriately implemented in museum practice.
Archaeology and Conservation along the Silk Road
Supported by Eurasia Pacific Uninet, the second international conference on "Archaeology and Conservation along the Silk Road" was jointly organized by Nanjing University China and Institute of Conservation, University of Applied Arts Vienna and held in May 2016 in China. Silk Road showcases the trans-continental cultural movements between Europe and Asia and this event encouraged researchers to reflect on popular as well as otherwise under-represented topics. This volume includes selected papers from the conference and merges aspects of archaeology with conservation.

Next Silk Road conference is planned for 2018 to carry forward the initiative of learning and exchange of knowledge.
Montfort
Winner of the 2017 Verbruggen prize Montfort Castle, located in the western Galilee, was the principal fortress of the Teutonic Order, one of the three great military orders of the Crusader period.

NAKO
The Nako temple complex from the 12th century is an extraordinary testimony of early Tibetan Buddhism not anymore preserved in today’s Tibet. Endangered by the rough environment, improper treatment and frequent earthquakes, the outstanding monuments were re-discovered by scholars from Austrian universities in the 1980s. The transdisciplinary research project carried out over more than 20 years led to in-depth studies, preservation and model-like conservation of the temples and their artworks.
Fibelausstattung und Lebensalter in der Merowingerzeit
Waren Grabbeigaben im Frühen Mittelalter persönlicher Besitz der Verstorbenen? Am Beispiel der merowingerzeitlichen Gewandspangen, sog. Fibeln, wirft dieses Buch einen kritischen Blick auf diese Frage und schließt gleichzeitig eine Forschungslücke: Statistisch fundierte Aussagen zu einem Zusammenhang zwischen den Beigaben und den Verstorbenen stellen ein Desiderat dar. Kernpunkt der Arbeit ist eine empirische Fallstudie anhand von 836 Fibeln Süddeutschlands zur möglichen Korrelation zwischen deren Abnutzung und dem Sterbealter der Trägerinnen. Sie wird ergänzt durch eine Übersicht der bisherigen Untersuchungen sowie eine Analyse der Abnutzungsfaktoren, wie Tragedauer und Position am...
