Overview
What you will study
Throughout the Cultural Heritage in Conflict - The Legacy of Looted Art course offered by The Courtauld Institute of Art , we shall discuss the ideological motivations behind the targeting of cultural heritage as a weapon of war; chart the evolution of military cultural property protection; and consider the longstanding relationship between the plunder, collection and trade of cultural artefacts. We shall then explore the legal, ethical and art-historical legacy of these so-called ‘conflict objects’ – cultural property dispossessed during periods of significant violent unrest – including their collection and trade through the market.
