9:00 – 10:00: C. M. Russell Educationsl Symposium
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how the FBI investigates art and cultural heritage crimes. Special Agent Sean Dudley will lead a thoughtful and engaging session on the FBI’s Art Theft Program and Art Crime Team, and the critical role they play in protecting cultural property.
This presentation will explore how the FBI works in partnership with museums, galleries, auction houses, and private collectors. Attendees will hear real-world examples from recent art crime cases and learn about the National Stolen Art File, a key resource used to track and recover stolen works and cultural objects.
The session will also examine the broader impact of these crimes on institutions and communities, and why collaboration is essential to safeguarding our shared cultural heritage. We hope you’ll join us for this timely and informative conversation.
