Discussion: 'Restore or build anew: what should we do with objects of culture affected by war?'
Libraries, museums, galleries, theatres, and philharmonics — 1,500+ objects of culture were affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Should we restore them or build new ones?
We will look for an answer to this ambiguous question during the discussion. History and experience of other countries will be our sources of inspiration.
When: Thursday 25 May from 16.00 until 17.30
