ICOMOS launches its collaborative photobank!
Every year, ICOMOS receives photographs from experts conducting missions on World Heritage properties, but also from generous donators willing to share their collections on historic monuments and sites. Around 2500 images of various types of cultural heritage properties from around the world are already in display in the ICOMOS photobank.
We now invite you to share your images with ICOMOS and take part in the documentation of our global heritage.
