The European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 activities: Pyrenean Iron Route
The PYRENEAN IRON ROUTE has been awarded with the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 logo for the following activities:
"Industrial heritage and iron route in the Pyrenees"
7 July 2018 - 23 December 2019
Nouvelle Aquitaine, Catalonia, Andorra, Basque Country
Itinerant exhibition that will open on July 7, 2018 and will move in twenty heritage sites in France, Spain and Andorra during the period July 2018 / December 2019.
The main theme is the importance of the iron and steel industrial heritage and the historical cross-border role played by iron in the Pyrenees. The objective is, through understanding, the sensitization of local populations to the fragility of this heritage (monuments and cultural landscape). The central core, shared by all partner institutions, consists of a general part and 21 panels centered on a particular property that illustrates the general theme. The whole is translated into 5 languages (English, French, Castilian, Catalan and Basque).
In parallel with the displacement of this central core, each cultural institution will organize, individually or collectively, parallel activities (conferences, exhibition of objects, didactic activities, etc.)
