Museum Studies Program
photo src: ummsp.lsa.umich.edu

This is a list of Training programs for Conservation and Restoration of cultural heritage.

There are a variety of training and entry routes into the profession of conservation; for many the first step is a full-time academic course. Whereas training in Conservation has traditionally taken the form of an apprenticeship, in more recent years training in a recognized conservation course at a University has become the norm. Today it is more common for professional conservators to have taken a University course combined with a period of time as an intern.

"The scope of conservators' work has widened in recent years, and is no longer dominated by hands-on conservation. Conservators now expect to be involved with exhibitions, conservation science, preventive conservation, project management and advocacy work".

Within the various schools that teach conservation, the approach differs according to the educational and vocational system within the country, and the focus of the school itself.

Many of the Conservation Associations and Professional Organizations also provide additional information about the schools in their respective fields and locations.

Maps, Directions, and Place Reviews



Australia

  • The University of Canberra

Bachelor of Heritage, Museums and Conservation, Major in Conservation This major is for students who wish to gain detailed understanding of the knowledge and techniques of cultural heritage materials conservation. The major is open to students of the Bachelor of Heritage Museums and Conservation and can also be taken as an elective major by any student. The major is not restricted. It should be noted that students wishing to pursue a career in heritage conservation should also take the Minor in Conservation Science as part of their electives for the Bachelor of Heritage, Museums and Conservation.

  • The University of Melbourne

Master of Cultural Materials Conservation (2 years full-time) The Master of Cultural Materials Conservation offers a professional qualification, combining both theory and practice, and emphasising the philosophical, intellectual and scientific aspects of cultural materials conservation. Students will benefit from the Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation's strong industry links and will gain access to the University of Melbourne's vast and varied cultural collections, including the Ian Potter Museum of Art, and the University's library, archive and school collections. Students will also have access to industry links with leading museums, galleries, archives and libraries, across Australia and overseas, with opportunities to develop research in relation to broader issues of cultural preservation for communities and cultures within the Asian-Pacific region.

The option to specialise in areas including conservation treatment of paintings, works on paper, frames, and some object and architectural conservation, can be combined with an internship. In consultation with an academic supervisor, students can arrange to undertake a placement in a conservation department or practice, which deals directly in the conservation of materials of their specialisation. Students have the opportunity to undertake internships across Australia, and overseas (for example, in the UK, USA, New Zealand, India, Malaysia, Greece and East Timor).

    • Brief history of cultural heritage conservation and restoration and opening of first Iranian school of conservation

art university of Isfahan is one of accredited art universities in Iran that has graduated many students in different fields of art. This university at first established by the name of "Pardis Faculty of Isfahan" as a branch of Farabi University in Tehran in 1978 to educate and provide conservation and restoration specialists for dealing with historic objects and Persian urban textures. It acted as the first school of conservation in Iran and with time it expanded to other fields like Archaeology, Painting, Architecture, Industrial Design and other branches of art in BA level. With growing the faculty, it converted to the Art University of Isfahan in 1999 and Faculty of Conservation remained at the same place. This school of conservation has developed a methodology for scientific restoration in Iran. At present, it has two departments, one for conservation and restoration of historic cultural property and another for conservation and restoration of historic monuments and textures. It is offering B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in both departments and accepts students not only from Iran but also from all over the world. Today, this university with a strong background in conservation and with up-to-date equipments, instruments and knowledge is one of the most important educational and research oriented centers for cultural heritage conservation and most of the specialists involved in different sites of cultural heritage are graduated from this school.

Israel

Despite its rich archaeological heritage, Israel has only begun to develop conservation education.

Italy

Since 1944 there has been a state school for art conservation training in the Istituto Superiore per la Conservazione ed il Restauro (formerly the Central Institute of Restoration) in Rome. The institute and the school were founded by the art historian Cesare Brandi. The other state conservation school, with a similar training program, is the Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence.

Since 2006 their diploma is equivalent to a degree course, similar to a master's degree in the US. The courses are limited: to access one must pass an appropriate public contest announced by the Ministry of Heritage and Culture. The training lasts five years and the diploma is subject to the acquisition of 300 credits.
The list of the schools accredited to carry out the Training of Restorers is defined by a Commission composed by Ministry of Heritage and Culture and Ministry of Education, Universities and Research.

Private schools (not accredited) also exist, such as the Istituto per l'Arte e il Restauro "Palazzo Spinelli" in Florence, the Istituto Italiano Arte Artigianato e Restauro in Rome or the San Gemini Preservation Studies (SGPS) in San Gemini, Umbria.
