Blue Shield Austria in the Arts & Time Magazine

The federal body of the jewelry, watch, art, antiques and stamp trade of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber invited Blue Shield Austria to contribute to its art trade magazine " Arts & Time" which is sent twice a year to all Austrian art dealers, galleries and antique dealers.

In the magazine Anna Puhr, Blue Shield Austria Deputy General Secretary, highlights that events like the destruction of the Temple of Baal in Palmyra, the Beirut harbor explosion, museum looting in Ukraine, or earthquakes in Turkey draw global attention due to their shared impact: the loss or damage of cultural heritage. 

​She points to the fact that these incidents underscore how natural disasters, armed conflicts, and political turmoil can erase the historical, social, and emotional significance of cultural assets for communities and introduces the organisation "Blue Shield which fosters knowledge exchange and collaboration among experts, civil society, and the military to prevent or mitigate such damage, emphasizing the intrinsic link between cultural heritage and communities.
