The Antiquities Coalition at 5
Marking a Major Milestone, While Looking Towards the Future
Preserving World Heritage, Strengthening Global Security
As long as there have been tombs, there have been tomb raiders. Yet in the modern world, this plunder is taking place on a scale never before seen in history. Criminals, armed insurgents, and even violent extremists like Daesh (ISIS) are stealing entire chapters of our shared history to feed a growing demand for ancient art.
We created the Antiquities Coalition to fight back.
In 2020, we marked our fifth anniversary as a tax-exempt, charitable organization. These last five years have been a time of great challenges for culture, but also one of great opportunities. With this interactive StoryMap, we invite you to learn more about our work to date—and why it is needed more than ever.

Your gift directly supports our solutions-driven programs to protect cultural heritage.
Although much has been irrevocably lost, much still remains to be saved. For a fraction of the auction price of a single antiquity, we have a chance to preserve so much of what it threatened our entire civilization. But we can’t do it without you.
