Subject Specialist Network: European Paintings pre-1900
The National Gallery has set up the Subject Specialist Network: European Paintings pre-1900. This network will provide the opportunity to exchange knowledge, experiences and new ideas about these paintings, including ways of improving public engagement through display and interpretation.
The network is free to museum professionals around the UK. Its objectives are:
- Provide a stimulating and proactive network to support professionals working with European paintings pre-1900 in museums and art galleries around the UK
- Encourage knowledge and understanding of these works of art
- Facilitate future discussions and debate around research, interpretation, display and learning programmes in order to fully enable public engagement.
- Promote more in-depth research and interpretation of paintings in UK collections, building upon the work carried out by the National Inventory Research Project.
- Support the highest professional standards in the research, conservation, display and interpretation of European Paintings pre-1900.
- Champion the importance of European paintings pre-1900 within the museums sector.
To manage the Subject Specialist Network there is a mailing list management system on JISCmail (the National Academic Mailing list service – www.jiscmail.com – European Paintings pre-1900)
