[Exhibition] Eternal Sites. Grand Palais, Paris (14 Dec. 2016 - 9 Jan. 2017)

From Bamiyan to Palmyra. A journey to the heart of universal heritage.

Unite4Heritage is delighted to be the communication partner of the exhibition ‘Eternal Sites’, shown at the Grand Palais in Paris on 14 December 2016 to 9 January 2017. This event is held under the high patronage of UNESCO.

‘Eternal Sites’ focuses on endangered heritage and archaeological sites. It takes the visitors through the exploration or rediscovery of important archaeological sites that are now inaccessible: Bamiyan, Khorsabad, Palmyra, the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus and Kerak Castle. Watch the trailer video here.

The exploration of these universal Heritage sites will be seen through the prism of Iconem’s 3D work. It is a unique opportunity to experience these hugely important sites that are inaccessible and under threat due to conflict.

The exhibition is free and open to all.

To find out more about the fascinating work and project Iconem’s undertakes in the field of heritage, please view their website.

This exhibition is organised by the Réunion des Musées Nationaux - Grand Palais and the Louvre, in collaboration with Iconem. It is being held thanks to Google Arts & Culture, Leon Levy Foundation, Bank of America, LVMH, Fondation Total, Caisse des Dépôts, Kheops Funds for Archeology and the American Friends of the Louvre.

On December 12, 2016, a presentation of the exhibition will be held at the Grand Palais’ Auditorium, with the attendance of Jean-Luc Martinez, President-Director of the Musée du Louvre, and general curator of the exhibition, Marielle Pic, Director of the Department of Oriental Antiquities, Yannick Lintz, Director of the Department of Islamic Art, both co-curators, and Yves Ubelman, founder of Iconem.
