Works of Art"

This three-day symposium will provide a forum for the presentation

invited papers by an international group of biologists and
conservators. A round table discussion, open to all participants,
will be held on the final day.

The symposium will build upon the work presented at the

Florence in June 1999.

The proceedings will be published under the aegis of The
Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Registrants will have the opportunity to present their work in a
Poster Session.

The deadline for submission of abstracts for the Poster Session is
March 1, 2002.

The fee is $250 for registrations received before March 1, 2002 and
