The Council for Museum Anthropology stands in solidarity with Ukraine, and recognizes its sovereignty as a nation with a vibrant and distinct cultural heritage. We uphold the 1954 Hague Convention, and condemn attacks on a people’s cultural institutions and sites of heritage. We join our voices with the global community in demanding the Russian government cease hostilities against Ukraine. The Council for Museum Anthropology will act to provide reliable information to our members, colleagues, and friends in the heritage community, and we express our willingness to assist our peers in Ukrainian museums and galleries.
