Over the past few weeks I have noticed that the news cycle has abandoned the Russia-Ukraine conflict, despite the ongoing invasion. I have been collecting news articles, statistics, and stories about the cultural heritage of Ukraine and how it is holding up against this ongoing siege so that I can share it with you here. War and museums are inherently linked, and I originally wanted to do a video simply titled “Museums and War” but thought that this current, ongoing war deserved its own video so that we can highlight the great work of museum pros and civilians have done and also to highlight the role of museums in war time (as depots of stolen cultural material, propaganda machines, etc).
I hope that this conflict ends soon and my heart is with the Ukrainian people.

A big shoutout to my friend Gavin: he was instrumental in proofreading and providing resources that I would have otherwise not found without his help.
