About NRICH
Mission & Goals
“The National Research Institute of Culture Heritage (NRICH) aims to serve as a leading light for all those engaged in research on cultural heritage.”
Cultural heritage items that have formed naturally or artificially over many years are valuable properties not only for the people of their country of origin but for all humankind due to their historic, artistic, and academic value, and their natural beauty in the case of landscapes. As such, it is every country’s duty to survey and study them and to preserve them for future generations.
