Our Mission

To protect our shared heritage and global security, the Antiquities Coalition is leading the international campaign against cultural racketeering, the illicit trade in ancient art and artifacts.

Convening with Purpose

 

Championing Better
Law and Policy

 

 

Closing US Markets to Illicit Antiquities

 

Encouraging Responsible Markets and Trade Practices
