Exhibitions

IHA regularly takes part in the preparation of temporary or permanent exhibitions at the request of public or private institutions.

Its contribution can take several forms, including :

• technical and historical expertise,
  
• providing documentary resources,
  
• loans of objects from the IHA or Jean Plateau – IHA collections,
  
• Assistance in defining content and museography.

The most common themes are :

• Familiar or little-known uses of aluminium: architecture, packaging, design, transport, gold- & silver-working, coinage, etc.
  
• Scientific and technical aspects of the aluminium industry, particularly the history of inventions and processes.
  
• History of companies and industrial sites, etc.

Thereby, the Institute has participated to the organisation of about twenty exhibitions since 1986.
