INTERNATIONAL DAY OF MUSEUMS 2022
WEDNESDAY, MAY 18 INTERNATIONAL MUSEUM DAY
TO CELEBRATE THIS DAY THE MUSEUM OFFERS ACTIVITIES FROM MAY 18 TO 21
With the slogan "The Power of the Museum", the International Museum Day 2022 invites us to reflect on the power of museums, as incomparable places of discovery, they teach us our past and open our minds to new ideas, two essential steps to build a better future. The International Council of Museums ICOM created this day in 1977 to raise public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society. Since then, the popularity of the event has continued to grow.
This year we want to celebrate it with a program of activities, not only on May 18!
