De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) will host the triennial meeting of the Leather and Related Materials Group (LRMG) this October, welcoming global experts in leather conservation.
The LRMG is a sub-committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), whose members include the Louvre, the British Museum and the Vatican Museums. Its members meet every three years to exchange research and developments in conserving leather, skin and related materials.
The 2025 event, titled Leather Conservation for Today, will take place on October 30 and 31, with optional technical visits on October 29. The programme will feature presentations on new techniques and approaches, alongside networking and cultural events. A hybrid format will allow remote attendance via Microsoft Teams.
Associate professor Gillian Proctor said hosting the event was an honour, highlighting DMU’s commitment to teaching and promoting leathercraft. The university has ongoing partnerships with the Worshipful Company of Leathersellers, the Worshipful Company of Curriers and the Museum of Leathercraft.
