Dear Listers

Further to earlier responses.

It just so happens that a number of European institutions are getting
together next week in France to discuss various aspects of managing Plaster
Cast collections within both educational and museum environments.

Organised by the Museum of Casts at the Universite Lumiere in Lyon,
representatives from Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France and UK (including
the V&A in London and my own institution in Scotland) hope to attend.

Although the meeting is aimed soley at European-based collections, further
enquiries should be addressed to [log in to unmask]   Contact
names: Mrs Odette Balandraud and Mrs Amandine Pezzali.

Hope this is of interest?

Here at Redcliffe Plantation we have a collection of plaster busts we
believe were purchased in Europe during the nineteenth century.  Apart from
that we don't know anything about the busts and we are having a tough time
researching them.  Any references or information would be appreciated.
