Our goal at the congress is to present monumental restoration and conservation projects that have been carried out in cooperation between various people within the fields of conservation and preservation of cultural heritage, construction representatives, property and art owners and local authorities. During the congress we will become acquainted with on-going renovations projects in Helsinki including the Presidential Palace, the Parliament Building and the National Library of Finland.
The program for NKF’s XX Congress will present about 30 presentations featuring different perspectives in the field of conservation of monumental objects and ensembles.
Congress venue is the National Museum of Finland, a monumental treasure itself. The National Museum building was designed by the Finnish architects Herman Gesellius, Armas Lindgren and Eliel Saarinen. They won the architectural competition for the project in 1902, and the building work was conducted mainly between 1905 and 1910. The museum was opened to the public in 1916.
The congress’ presentations will be published in a preprint publication. The congress’ working language will be English. For more information, visit NKF-Fi
