The Relationship between Terrorism and Art Smuggling

by Arthur Brand 

Dear Members and Guests,

We invite you to join us for the fourth lecture of the season given by Arthur Brand on ‘The Relationship between Terrorism and Art Smuggling​’ in the Atrium on Tuesday 14th January 2025 at 20.00 hours.

PLEASE Note that this will be in our NEW LOCATION, the Atrium of the Pastoral Centre of the Church of Our Saviour in The Hague [Helenastraat 8, 2595 HA, The Hague].

Cultural property, art and antiquities smuggling is a global crime that enables criminals to profit from stolen history, launder money, and fund terrorism.  In this fascinating lecture we will learn about the (under)world of art smuggling from a world authority in the field.

This will be a live lecture with the lecturer physically present in the Atrium.  We are hoping that members and Guests will take the opportunity to come to the Atrium.  

For those unable to be present at the Atrium, this lecture will also be streamed via a Zoom Webinar to those who registered.

You are requested to sign up for the lecture beforehand, also if you are coming to join us in person at the Atrium, by clicking on the sentence at the 'How to book' section.
