Alison Innes from the Brock News covers a simulated evacuation drill in the Department’s Cypriote Museum, staged as part of Elizabeth Greene’s Archaeological Ethics class (CLAS 4P28 / 5V28).
“When natural disaster or military conflict strikes, irreplaceable cultural heritage is put at risk.
Conflicts in Afghanistan and Syria, as well as September’s fire at the Brazil National Museum, are just a few recent examples of events that have caused cultural workers and community volunteers to mobilize in an effort to rescue irreplaceable artifacts.
Brock Classics students got a taste of the work involved in a museum evacuation during a simulation run Friday, Nov. 30 by internationally-recognized expert Brian Daniels.”
