Paper From The East is the second of an influential conference series concerning Chinese heritage, bringing together specialists in paper conservation and materials research from museums and galleries around the world.
This year, staged at the National Maritime Museum, Paper From The East is designed to promote both academic and practical practice and is part of the wider launch of the new ‘Traders: the East India and Asia’ gallery.
Western collections and a lot of our national galleries and museums hold many objects made from a wide variety of “papers” including painting and object d’art and their conservation depends on understanding the paper properties. Paper From The East provides a rare opportunity to learn about the diverse paper from Korea, China and Japan, how they were used originally and how they have been adapted for use outside their places of origin.
