International Museum Day 2012

Museums in a Changing World. New challenges, New inspirations.



The worldwide community of museums will celebrate the 35th anniversary of International Museum Day around 18 May, 2012.
In 2012, Museums in a Changing World. New Challenges, new inspirations is the theme of International Museum Day. Today, the world is changing faster than ever. New technology delivers new ideas, gigabytes of information, news of an increasingly unstable climate.
International Museum Day will allow its visitors to wonder about the role of museums in our new society, in the era of new media, and to discover and rediscover how museums are looking to the future in terms of sustainable development.
The International Council of Museums (ICOM) established International Museum Day in 1977 to encourage public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society. Momentum has been rising unabated ever since. In 2011, International Museum Day garnered record breaking participation with almost 30,000 museums hosting events in more than 120 countries.
