7 June 2024 / Haarlem

The second biennual symposium organised by Teylers Museum and Delineavit at Sculpsit took place at the museum on Friday 7 June. It attracted nearly a hundred participants. Curators, registrars, professors, art dealers, collectors, and others interested in the graphic arts, mainly from Holland and a few from Belgium, filled the museum’s auditorium. Several speakers gave presentations on the topic Art on Paper for the Public (see the preceding News item below). They gave an illuminating glimpse into the early history of their museum or university collections of prints and drawings up to about 1900. This was concluded by a lively panel discussion led by Marleen Ram, curator of Teylers Museum and member of the Delineavit editorial board, as well as organiser of this special event. At the end of the meeting, a surprise tribute was paid to one of the participants, former Teylers chief curator Carel van Tuyll van Serooskerken, who was presented with the Teylers Medal of Honour as a token of appreciation for his decades of dedication to the museum.
