Andreas Pittas Art Characterization Laboratories (APAC Labs)

Mission: Moving beyond the confines of a state-of-the-art lab, APAC Labs embrace a holistic approach to art characterization possible through cross-disciplinary scientific exchange that is driven by broad inquiries in art history and the humanities. Objective: APAC Labs provide a broad approach to art characterization, pursuing: (A) Research, to advance the effective use of heritage science and technology in the characterization of works of art, monuments and archaeological material. (B) Innovation, to develop task-specific service protocols related to material characterization, provenance, state of preservation and identification of works of art and heritage artifacts. (C) Training and Education, through workshops and seminars of experts in art history, archaeology and the humanities, for practitioners, students and citizens at large.
