The objective of the Member States Website is to improve communication between UNESCO and its Member States, notably the Permanent Delegations and National Commissions, by giving a privileged entry point to specific and sought after functions and content.

This website complements UNESCO’s already-existing Internet Portal (for the public at large) and the Intranet site (for the Secretariat members).

The content of this website has open access. However, there are a limited number of services that are directly addressed to Member States, namely to Permanent Delegations and National Commissions, available atUNESCO for Member States, for which a log-in and a password are requested.

We hope the site will continue to evolve and be improved with additional content and functions that will emerge from your views, comments and feedback. You can email suggestions to: pax@unesco.org.

Guided Tours

Discover UNESCO’s Headquarters, a treasure of modern architecture and the fruit of collaboration between several iconic architects of the twentieth century such as Bernard Zehrfuss, Marcel Breuer and Pier Luigi Nervi.

The mission and actions of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization will be the base of your visit. It will allow you to discover how the organization works, the values it carries and how it affects the daily lives of people.

You will cross the emblematic rooms and halls of this "house of peace" made of glass and concrete like the Japanese garden of Isamu Noguchi or the meditation space of Tadao Ando. This will be the occasion to discover major pieces from Miró, Picasso, Giacometti, Calder, among others that form part of UNESCO’s collection of 600 works of art.

For UNESCO's network, we propose private tours (diplomats and ambassadors of the Permanent Delegations - National Commissions; ASP net, UNESCO Chairs, Unesco Clubs) please kindly note that these special tours should be provided for a limited number of 20 participants max. The booking should be requested at least 20 days in advance to have a suitable option.
