The Leal da Câmara Museum is a small institution dedicated to the life and work of the Portuguese master Leal da Câmara. Among several artistic activities, the museum promotes regular talks on several subjects including museology and  conservation. On this context, on November 30th Nuno Moreira, conservator and adviser of the Portuguese Museum Network, gave a talk on Preventive Conservation of Contemporary Art. The audience, with an average age of nearly 50 years old and from the most diverse backgrounds, showed high interest in the subject.
The talk was structured around three main topics: what contemporary art is, the importance of preventive conservation in this field and reflections on the new problems that conservation faces with the introduction of new materials in works of art. 

The public was eager to participate in the discussion that took place after the presentation, making plenty of questions mainly about the difficulties of the conservation practice in museums.

In our opinion, this contact between conservators and the general public is fundamental for a better understanding of preventive conservation and contemporary art, thus these initiatives should be encouraged as much as possible.
