MOSAIKON is a five-year regional programme for the conservation of mosaics in the southern and eastern Mediterranean. The programme is a partnership of the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI), the Getty Foundation, ICCROM, and the International Committee for the Conservation of Mosaics (ICCM).
The aim of the program is to improve capacity in the region for the better conservation, maintenance, and presentation of mosaics. The program addresses both in situ mosaics as well as lifted mosaics in museums and archaeological storage.
MOSAIKON will strengthen the network of professionals and promote the dissemination of information on this subject. It will provide training to a variety of actors involved in the conservation, maintenance, and restoration of mosaics, and the management of archaeological sites and museums with mosaics. In parallel, it will also work with national and international bodies to provide a more favorable legislative, regulatory, and economic environment for the conservation of mosaics in the Mediterranean.
