French museums’ professionals mobilized to the safeguarding of Ukrainian museums’ collections
ICOM France, in cooperation with BLUE SHIELD and ICOM international, announces that one first truck full with supplies required by Ukrainian museums has already left to the polish frontier. Others will follow in the forthcoming days and weeks.
At this phase priority is given to supplies allowing for better protection of collections, essentially packaging, humidity control and fire protection material.
Other trucks will follow in the forthcoming days and weeks.
All European ICOM National Committees are kindly required to joint this initiative, by contacting ICOM France (Anne-Claude MORICE <anne-claude.morice@icom-musees.fr>), in order to articulate possible common delivers.
