Arts Programs
Art and antiquities elicit deeply rooted emotions that influence how nations and individuals think and act with respect to cultural resources. Is there a global cultural heritage? Can the past be owned? Why and how do we treat movable art differently from architecture or historical sites? Investigate the issues surrounding conservation of heritage sites, the effects of war on cultural resources, the rights of indigenous peoples to control access to remains from their past, and the traffic in illegal antiquities. Examine how the law affects cultural resources and discuss potential resolutions to the inherent conflicts in protecting the world's cultural heritage.
