UNESCO launched the Virtual Museum of Stolen Cultural Objects during MONDIACULT 2025, a pioneering global initiative aimed at combating the illicit trafficking of cultural property. The project was developed in response to calls from Member States for coordinated international efforts to protect cultural heritage. Financially supported by Saudi Arabia, the museum is implemented in collaboration with INTERPOL, which plays a crucial role in tracing, recovering, and preventing the illegal trade of stolen artifacts. This partnership underscores the importance of global cooperation in safeguarding humanity’s shared cultural legacy through technology and law enforcement.
