The International Day for Monuments and Sites also known as World Heritage Day is held on April 18 each year with different types of activities, including visits to monuments and heritage sites. In Kenya, the main celebrations will be hosted by the National Museums of Kenya at Thimlich Ohinga World Heritage Site in Migori, South Nyanza.
The theme for this year is ‘Rural Landscapes’, which is linked to the theme of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (Icomos) Scientific Symposium on Rural Heritage to take place in October in Marrakesh.
