Ukrainian Museums at War: Conceptual, Historical, and Legal Perspectives

Ukrainian and Swedish curators and experts in museum and heritage will discuss topics such as the heritage and material history of art, archaeological and archival collections during wars, risk management, documenting crimes in culture and museums.

The symposium aims to explore the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war (2014-present), especially the full-scale invasion since 2022, on Ukrainian museums and cultural heritage. What challenges arise from the destruction and the indirect consequences of military expansion, and what means can be employed to address them from both national and international perspectives?

Invited speakers from Ukraine and Sweden will discuss topics such as risk asset management, documentation of cultural and museum-related crimes, international collaborations, practices related to post-war restitutions and reparations, and other subjects.

The audience is welcome to join the event online via Zoom. (Registrering er påkrevd)
