“Museums are an important means of cultural exchange,
enrichment of cultures and development of mutual
understanding,
cooperation and peace among peoples”
(Prof. Dr.
Hans-Martin Hinz, ICOM President)
Every year since 1977, ICOM has
organised International Museum Day (IMD), which
represents a unique moment for the international museum community. On this day,
participating museums plan creative events and activities related to the
International Museum Day theme, engage with their public and highlight the
importance of the role of museums as institutions that serve society and its
development.
The objective of International
Museum Day is to raise awareness of the fact that, “Museums are an important
means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual
understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.” Organised on and around 18
May each year, the events and activities planned to celebrate IMD can last
a day, a weekend or a whole week.
Participation in International
Museum Day is growing among museums all over the world. In 2014, more than
35,000 museums participated in the event in over 140 countries from all
continents.
Each year’s International Museum
Day theme is proposed by ICOM’s network and aims to promote museum issues
within society.
The theme:
Museums for a sustainable society
In 2015, the event will celebrate the theme: Museums for a
sustainable society.
One of the most important
contemporary challenges shared by people all over the world is to adapt new
ways of living and developing within the limits of nature. This transition
towards a sustainable society requires inventing new methods of thinking and acting.
Museums play a key role in this transition, promoting sustainable development
and serving as real laboratories for best practices. Modern museums must take a
strong position in this context and make their voices heard.
The theme Museums for a sustainable
society recognises the role of museums in raising public awareness about
the need for a society that is less wasteful, more cooperative and uses
resources in a way that respects living systems.
Bringing museums to the forefront
of this model of a sustainable society, the International Museum Day theme aims
to foster awareness among the whole society about the current consequences of
human action in our planet and the absolute necessity of changing its economic
and social model.
