Pax Cultura or cultural peace is the motto of the art protection movement founded by
Nicholas Roerich. The maroon and white banner consisting of three solid circles in a surrounding circle was meant to fly over buildings and sites of great cultural heritage to protect them during war or other international conflict. The symbol is known as the
Red Cross of culture. The
United States signed the
Roerich Pact in
1945.
