Iowa Files: The Monuments Men

3:00 PM – 4:00 PM

4000 Mills Civic Pkwy, West Des Moines, IA

History is a record of preservation as much as progress. This session of “The Iowa Files” at the West Des Moines Public Library explores the remarkable story of the “Monuments Men” and their mission to save global culture during World War II. It is a rigorous lesson in ethics, art history, and the moral obligation to protect human heritage in times of conflict. For the audience, it provides a deeper understanding of how these individuals—many with Iowa ties—risked everything to ensure the survival of the world’s most significant artistic treasures.
