Show allHistory Talks
Feelings of community and belonging are based on a shared cultural heritage. This embodies the history and human creativity of a society. That is why the threat to and destruction of cultural legacies through war, disasters or climate change is so devastating. And that is why the question of how to protect this cultural heritage is so relevant.What does cultural heritage mean to the people who lose it? How can cultural assets be protected and preserved in war? What is the current situation in Ukraine?
These important questions will be discussed by Maria José Miñana, UNESCO programme specialist in charge of the fight against illicit trafficking in cultural property, Yuliya Vaganova, Director of the Bohdan and Varvara Khanenko National Museum of Arts in Kyiv and Benno Widmer, Head of the Museums and Collections Section of the Federal Office of Culture.
Moderation: Denise Tonella, Director of the Swiss National Museum
Yuliya Vaganova will attend the panel discussion online.
