Today we celebrate the International Day of Monuments and Sites! For 2024, the theme is "Disasters and Conflicts Through the Lens of the Venice Charter." The Venice Charter, adopted by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) in 1965, declares, "The concept of a historic monument embraces not only the single architectural work but also the urban or rural setting in which is found the evidence of a particular civilization, a significant development or a historic event. This applies not only to great works of art but also to more modest works of the past which have acquired cultural significance with the passing of time." At the American Center of Research, we recognize the invaluable significance of preserving our cultural heritage of all kinds amid adversity. From natural disasters to human conflicts, our monuments, sites, artworks, and artifacts stand as witnesses to history. As we commemorate this day, let us reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding these treasures, whether great or modest, for the future. Join us in celebrating cultural heritage and the enduring spirit that binds us all together. Only together can we ensure that our monuments and sites remain beacons of hope and inspiration for generations to come. #18April #ICOMOS #IDMS2024 #icomosIDMS2024
