International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM)

The International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) was established in 1959, after the destruction left behind by World War II necessitated efforts to reconstruct cultural heritage across the globe. ICCROM currently has 137 member-countries and operates a worldwide network of experts and institutions that specialize in the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage.

ICCROM is renowned for its interdisciplinary approach, relying on the expertise of archaeologists, architects, art historians, city planners, conservators, curators, restorers, and scientists. In addition to working with local partner organizations to mobilize conservation and restoration efforts, ICCROM also produces cutting-edge research and provides training to strengthen the professional community. ICCROM envisions a world in which cultural heritage of all forms is sustainably managed, successfully protected, and globally celebrated.
