ISHM‐NORDIC Conference and Exhibition Available to Purchase

All Scandinavian cities seem to be close to water, if not the sea then there will be a lake or river. All too have that wonderful clear light in which the reflections sparkle and dance. Helsingør, the location for this year's ISHM‐Nordic event was no exception. It is just over half an hour by road from the capital city, Copenhagen, and the coastal route gives excellent views of the sea and the nearby coast of Sweden. Helsingør has many outstanding buildings dating from the middle ages, including St Olav Church and the nearby Carmelite monastery dating from around 1400. From 1660 to 1668 the famous composer Buxtehude was organist at the church. The town itself is dominated by the castle which was built in the Fifteenth century. The later alterations carried out by King Christian IV left the exterior virtually unchanged.
