The Association for Research into Crimes against Art

The Association for Research into Crimes against Art (ARCA) is an organization dedicated to studying and addressing the theft, illegal trade, and destruction of cultural heritage and artworks. It brings together experts from fields like archaeology, art history, law enforcement, and conservation to share knowledge, develop strategies, and prevent crimes against cultural property. By doing so, ARCA helps protect our shared history and ensure that valuable cultural artifacts are preserved and returned to their rightful place.
