International
Committee of the Banner of Peace President Visits OUMA
|
Alicia Rodriquez with Museum Director Lloyd Nick at
OUMA |
Alicia Rodriguez, President
of the International Committee of the Banner
of Peace, recently visited Oglethorpe University Museum
of Art in advance of the upcoming Nicholas Roerich exhibition.
During the 1920s, Russian artist Nicholas Roerich composed
a treaty with the assistance of international legal experts,
designed to protect treasures of cultural heritage worldwide
from the ravages of war and neglect. This treaty came to be
known as The Roerich Pact, and its accompanying banner, also
designed by Roerich, is known as the Banner of Peace.
