Visit two great printing museums and meet people interested in collecting, restoring, preserving and exhibiting printing heritage materials!
From stone to chip
Dutch Lithography Museum
Valkenswaard, 3-5 November 2016
Registration for the next annual conference of the AEPM is still open.
The theme the AEPM’s conference (jointly organised this year with the IADM) is lithography but, as ever, all aspects of printing heritage will be on the agenda, both in the formal talks and informal discussions. It is a unique opportunity to meet friends and colleagues, discover other museums and exchange ideas. The programme includes talks on historical aspects of lithography, its place in printing museums and current issues facing museums in the fields of printing and graphic communication.
The conference is being hosted by the superb Nederlands Steendrukmuseum (Dutch Lithography Museum) in Valkenswaard (near Eindhoven in the Netherlands) and will include a visit to the equally wonderful Nationaal Museum van de Speelkart (National Playing Card Museum) in Turnhout (Belgium), a forty minute coach ride away.
