Attached is the letter of protest sent to several Personalities of conservation and restoration of French.
particular to Mr Philippe Belaval, CEO of Heritage, Ministry of Culture & Communication.
Dear Mr. Belaval,
The CII would like to express its deep concern over the proposed relocation of the Centre for Research and Restoration of Museums of France (C2RMF). While aware that the Louvre must continually optimize its space to take its missions, we must recognize the essential contribution of more than 1200 C2RMF museum collections throughout France.
The importance of the Center's location in a large metropolis serving as a hub for transportation and academic research and technology, should not be underestimated. The advantages of a direct link with the Louvre C2RMF are many and benefit the Louvre itself, giving it a leading position in the field of preservation and scientific heritage. The IIC also draws attention to the fact that breaking this link caused by the move will have on the long-term negative impact on the many different museums and institutions of France and the entire international community benefits from the work of the Centre.
C2RMF The importance of the international community must be emphasized. His contributions were significant and essential for a rational and successful preservation of cultural heritage. The Centre's work clearly reflects the interest and commitment of France to the preservation of heritage, not only nationally but also globally.
We hope that you will reconsider the proposed removal and will maintain facilities C2RMF the heart of this important urban center in one of the largest museums in the world, the Louvre.
Very respectfully yours, Jerry Podany

CII has joined The International Protest At The Proposed Relocation of the Centre for Research and Restoration of Museums of France (C2RMF). A Copy Of The letter of protest, feels to a number of heritage conservation and senior figures in France follows:
Monsieur Philippe BELAVAL, Directeur Général des Patrimoines, Ministère de la Culture & de la Communication
Dear M. Belaval
The IIC would like to express its deep concern regarding the possible relocation of the Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des Musées de France (C2RMF). While we are keenly aware that the Louvre Museum must continually seek the efficient use of its space to meet its mission, the value of the C2RMF to more than 1200 collections across France is clear.
The importance of the Centre’s location in a major city, serving as a transportation, scholarly and technical research hub for much of Europe, cannot be overstated. The advantages of the close association of the Centre with the Louvre (administratively and through its location) are many and reflect well upon the Louvre itself, promoting the Louvre’s position as a leader in the field of heritage preservation and scientific research. IIC also points out that the disruption caused by this relocation will have a long term negative impact upon the many museums and institutions across France that depend upon the Centre’s work and the international community which benefits from C2RMF’s work
The importance of C2RMF to the international community cannot be over emphasized. Its contributions have been monumental and essential to the logical and successful preservation of cultural heritage. The Centre’s work reflects positively on the interest and commitment of France to heritage preservation not just within the country, but globally.
We hope you will reconsider this relocation and support the Centre’s facilities within an important urban centre and within one of the world’s great museums, the Louvre.
Yours respectfully,
Jerry Podany
IIC President
Jo Kirby Atkinson
IIC Secretary-General
