Culture in all its forms has always been at risk in time of war. In past ages and in the modern world, works of art have been looted, buildings deliberately destroyed and invaluable artefacts lost. How can such damage be prevented and what can be done to preserve and restore key sites of architectural and archaeological interest? The Symposium will focus on the current situation in the Middle East and involve experts with recent experience of the region.

This is a free public symposium presented by Professor Tim Connell and a Panel of Experts.
