Programme learning outcomes
This course gives insight into the history of Moulages and the process of their manufacturing. In the interdisciplinary course, principles of conservation are exemplified with a special look onto the conflict between the use of Moulages as an exhibit or teaching media on the one side and the standards of conservation on the other side. The participant of the course will find explanations on the materials which are used for manufacturing, especially wax mixtures and colors. You will learn the most important phenomena of damages and with this will be able to assess the necessary measures after completing the course. Additionally, the course communicates the most important preventive measures, which are necessary for protecting these valuable objects. Storage, exhibition and handling of the Moulages are explained as well as the establishment of an adequate environment.
The course addresses curators, conservators, physicians, taxidermists, ethnologists and other interested people.
