CIMCIM CIMCIMLet me give you a few impressions from my visit to Korea two weeks ago. I was invited to meet with colleagues in Korea to plan ICR activities in October together with our contact museum and to give a lecture on Swedish museum system, thinking and practice. It was an overwhelming experience for me who have never been in this part of the world before.
Our ICR contact in Korea is Director General Chong-Sun Rhi at Gyeonggi Provincial Museum. During five days we discussed and planned the coming conference, we visited Coex where the main events of the General Conference will take place and we travelled to some of the places that many of you will see in October. And of course, we had Korean meals every day, not the least Kimchi, an exiting and tasteful experience in itself!
Coex is truly a spectacular convention center located in an ultramodern and futuristic part of Seoul. Actually it is not only a convention center, but more of an indoor city of its own, with restaurants, shops, exhibitions, cinemas and much more. This is also were the international committees will have their separate conferences, all in one building, which is good for the social life of the conference and will facilitate meetings with colleagues from all over the world.
Gyeonggi Provincial Museum will be the host museum for the big farewell party on the last day of the General Conference. Buses will be chartered and the delegates will be transported to Gyeonggi Provincial Museum in Suwon, about one hour drive south from Seoul. This museum was opened in 1996. It is an expansive museum, mainly cultural history, paintings and calligraphy and also an outdoor exhibition and a performance theater. The museum is now developing its activities and is also going to build facilities for contemporary art. Gyeonggi Provincial Museum has an impressive program for preschool- and school children that I could see in vast numbers during my visit at the museum.
ICR will have two full days of meetings at Coex and one day of excursion in the Gyeonggi province. I now had the privilege to preview the historical places ICR will visit in October. These places are also possible for others to visit on tours being offered on the general excursion day, Thursday October 7.
One of the places ICR will visit is the Korean Folk Village, a must for everyone with interest in museum public work and especially for colleagues with interest in open-air museums. The museum was opened in 1974 and it is located in an extensive natural environment that is hard to imagine in this metropolis. This is of course a major tourist attraction today, where people can have a general view of traditional Korean housing style - more than 260 traditional houses - clothing, dances, music, food and much more.
Another place for ICR and others to visit, of quite different character, is the Hwaseong Fortress with a fortress wall, more than 5 km long. This impressive construction was built in late 18th century and it is today surrounded and partly occupied by a modern urban environment that is constantly growing. The fortress is registered on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
I also had meetings with Byung-Mo Kim and Jong-Kyu Kim, co-chairmen of the Organizing Committee for Seoul 2004. I am impressed by the dedication of ICOM Korea and by their intensive efforts to make the General Conference special for all of us who will be their guests in October.
Best regards from Hans Manneby

Temporary Closing July 5 - August 24, 2004
Dear colleagues,
We are building a new big musical library in the Cité de la musique in Paris. Due to problems of public acess made by the building work we have to close the museum for seven weeks: from 5 July to 24 August 2004.
Our documentation centre will be closed to the public too, but researchers and curators will still be welcomed by the librarians: just ask for us when arriving at the Cité de la musique. One of the libraries will stay open and our colleagues will be able to call us and send you to our centre if you have some research to do.
Please get in touch with us prior to your arrival: Tel: +33 1 44 84 46 09
Best wishes
Patrice Verrier, Musée de la musique Paris
National Museum of Czech Music, Praha
For one year now the National Museum of Czech Music has been located at Karmelitska 2, 11800 Praha 1. The building works are making good progress, but unfortunately financial difficulties might inflict the postponing of the opening date set for 19. November 2004. In January 2004 Dr. Eva Paulová was appointed director of the museum and Dr. Bohuslav Cizek is responsible for the Musical Instrument Collection.
Congratulations
CIMCIM is pleased to announce that Dr. Martin Kirnbauer has been appointed as Director for the Musikhistorisches Museum in Basel, Switzerland. We wish him all the best for his new and challenging task.
The Horn - History and Musical Use
25th Musical Instrument Symposium, Michaelstein, Germany,
The history of the horn can be traced far back to pre-historical times. However, its actual use as a melody instrument does not start before the 17th century. Shortly after the cor de chasse was transformed to a horn with crooks for orchestral use in ca. 1700, German speaking countries became particularly influential in its further development and use. In Dresden the instrument maker Johann Werner designed the so-called Inventionshorn in collaboration with the horn-player Anton Joseph Hampel. It was A.J. Hampel, who realised the method of hand stopping as one of the most revolutionary changes in horn playing. He extended this method and made it the centre of his teaching. Finally, the German instrument maker and horn-player Heinrich Stölzel of Berlin announced in 1817 his new invention of valves in an article entitled "Important Improvements of the Horn" in the Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung.
The morphological development of different horn-types is already well documented. On the other hand aspects such as classification, the introduction of the horn into art music and questions of performance practice still await clarification. It can be expected that insight into the development of the horn, its music and performance practice can also be gained by examining its use in different regions. Acoustical examination and analysis of materials are particularly important to foster suitable reproductions for practical use.

administration offices.
Ringve Museum is looking for a person with a wide general
conservation experience and preferably with expertise in the
conservation of musical instruments. The applicant must have completed
a recognised form of conservation training or a minimum of six years
experience in another conservation related post. This might have
involved dealing with wooden objects.

Tasks: The conservation and restoration of musical instruments,
including documentation and analysis of materials, construction etc.
The preservation of objects in the exhibition as well as the storage.
The collaboration with other museum staff in the preparation of
temporary and permanent exhibitions. The responsibility for the safety
of objects during their use.
There is a one-year trial period with the possibility of it being
made permanent. The appointment begins February 2005. It is expected
that the post holder will be conversant in Norwegian within a reasonable
time within the first year.

The applications must be sent by 1 July 2004 at the latest.
Conservation treatments often involve setting parts of an object in
position and applying pressure to them in a gentle and controlled
manner. The clamping solutions that have been devised for this purpose
are as varied as the practitioners themselves. Yet the art of applying
pressure still remains a relatively unexplored topic in the conservation
literature. This publication addresses the subject with numerous
examples of pressure application devices and procedures drawn from the
wide experience of the authors and their colleagues in the museum
profession. Illustrated with 81 line drawings and photographs, this
book will be a useful resource for anyone undertaking conservation
treatments that require joining things together or reshaping them.
Price in Canada: CAN$26.00, in other countries: US$26.00; 21.5 x 23cm,
