The second HistoryLab project, "Art Nouveau & Ecology",will take place in Barcelona on 4 June,exploring the topic: "Tourism and the Preservation of Art Nouveau Heritage: a source for funding?a source of problems?" The event is open to the public. Free admission.

One of the actions of the Réseau Art Nouveau Network is to organise multilateral exchanges based on the specific needs of the participating partners. The exchanges will provide the opportunity for those working in the sectors of cultural heritage, education and academia to exchange their knowledge and experience across Europe, addressing themes relevant to the contemporary promotion of Art Nouveau. The first in the series, "Art Nouveau and Listed buildings"will be held in Barcelona on 6 June 2011.It will deal with new technologies and social networks in the diffusion of heritage.
