Save Angkor
poster41 paysage.jpg
The Japanese painter Ikuo Hirayama created this poster to focus public attention on the preservation of the monuments of Angkor, capital of the Khmer empire between the 9th and 15th centuries. The renowned artist, who also serves as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, is a long-standing champion of the Organization’s cultural heritage campaigns. With the return of peace in Cambodia, an international preservation programme for Angkor was initiated while at the same time UNESCO gave the site formal recognition with its inscription on the World Heritage List in 1993.
