Intangible cultural heritages
The theme throughout Schloss Eggenberg for the year 2022 is world heritages.
World heritages are often associated primarily with buildings and monuments, but oral traditions, performing arts, handicrafts, social rituals and festivals also class as intangible cultural heritages.
Sustained by human intellect and skill, they are passed down from one generation to the next.
Intangible cultural heritages shape and colour communities and play an important role in helping different cultures to develop sustainably.
