ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cultural heritage

Cultural heritage means all the things from long ago that are important to a group of people or a country. These things might be old buildings or special places, like museums or parks. They could also be old stories, pictures or artifacts that are handed down from one generation to the next. Sometimes, cultural heritage is really old and has been around for centuries or even thousands of years. People might want to protect cultural heritage so they can remember their history and make sure it stays important to future generations. It's just like how you might cherish a stuffed animal or toy that was passed down to you from your parents or grandparents.
