The Office of Cultural Heritage administers an encyclopedic collection of over 16,000 cultural objects created throughout the world, from antiquity to the present day. They are displayed at 216 missions overseas, and a sampling of the collection is shown here. The objects serve a most important role in our embassies and ambassadors’ residences: the perfect platform to exchange ideas, values, and traditions.
