From its founding in 1965, World Monuments Fund (WMF) has focused the public’s attention on these dangers while developing solutions that will ensure these sites will be enjoyed for generations to come.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nPrimarily a visual celebration, but with incisive essays by some of today’s greatest minds putting the world on notice, this beautiful volume captures and celebrates the awe and wonder of these sixty most significant sites. Taken together, the sites safeguarded by WMF can rightly be considered the world’s great museum without walls—a collection that connects us to the past while helping us better understand the present and, ultimately, the shared legacy of all humankind.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46677345599646,"sku":"TLD-9780847875511","price":159.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780847875511.jpg?v=1775455285","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780847875511","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
