More About The Watch

The World Monuments Watch is our primary tool for heritage advocacy and capacity building.

Whether you are interested in a Watch site on the other side of the world or one in your own home town, your involvement can help us preserve the past and change the future.

Learn more about the sites on the 2012 Watch, treasured places that are part of our shared heritage. Download posters of your favorite sites and share them with friends. Mount an exhibition to raise awareness in your community. Use the Watch to enhance classroom learning in your local schools. Join WMF to download Watch wallpaper, upload your own photos, tag your favorite projects and sites on your customizable landing page, and share your thoughts on our blog.

Make the Watch part of your social network. Track Watch site developments by becoming a fan on Facebook and by following us on Twitter. Tweet your own updates using hashtag #worldmonumentswatch. Subscribe to WMF’s YouTube channel to find out more about what is happening at Watch sites, and join WMF’s Flickr group dedicated to the Watch so you can share your own photos of these important places.
