WEBINAR: Polish Aid to Ukrainian Museums & National Heritage amid Russia's Invasion

Many countries are helping Ukraine protect its museum collections and conserve its National Heritage that is threatened, or has been damaged, and destroyed by Russia’s devastating war.

From the very first days of the invasion Polish museum professionals have been active in providing such assistance, and they continue to do the lion’s share of this work.

• Mr Michał Krasucki, Director of the Capital City Heritage Protection Department, Warsaw
