http://icom.museum/imd.html Each Year around the 18th May International Museum Day has been celebrated all over the world since 1977. Each year, a theme is decided on by the Advisory Committee. The event provides the opportunity for museum professionals to meet the public and alert them to the challenges that museums face if they are to be - as in the ICOM definition of museums - "an institution in the service of society and of its development". The chosen topic is also discussed in ICOM News, a review of the related activities is produced and made available to members of ICOM. It has been recommended that this celebration be held each year on 18 May (Given that each country has its own specific traditions and conditions, we recommend that members organise their events around 18 May), in the spirit of the motto: 《Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, co-operation and peace among peoples》. The ICOM Secretariat invites all members to celebrate International Museum Day around 18 May.
