AIPMA - ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONALE POUR LA PEINTURE MURALE ANTIQUE
The Association Internationale pour la Peinture Murale Antique (AIPMA) has been founded in Köln, on 1989, by a group of scholars from different countries. Its aim is to promote researches from both scientific and technical aspects, in the field of ancient wall painting, at the same time promoting cooperation between researchers, technicians and institutions
The Association organizes, every 3 years, international meetings (the last one being held in Naples on September 2007; the next one is scheduled on 2010 in Ephesos) and publishes the proceedings.
The Association also publishes a bibliographical Bulletin, called Apelles.
At present, the Association has fellows from around 20 different countries.
