Lviv Works To Protect Ukraine's Cultural Heritage in Wartime

LVIV, UKRAINE - APRIL 29: A bubble-wrapped marble bust waits with a small selection of relics to be moved in one of the galleries of the Potocki Palace, home of the Borys Voznytsky National Gallery, on April 29, 2022 in Lviv, Ukraine. The gallery has now moved nearly all of its items to a secret storage location with a small selection still in the process of being securely and safely transported. Galleries and museums across Ukraine have been moving their artworks and historical items into storage, in advance of any possible rocket strikes or other military action. In a statement, the Borys Voznytsky national Gallery said:"War is not only physical murder and destruction, but also a moral attack to culture. We are making every effort to preserve and create cultural initiatives and institutions which lead Ukrainian society and the entire democratic civilisation forward". (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)
