Chaque année depuis 1977, l'ICOM organise la Journée internationale des musées (JIM), événement qui représente un moment unique pour la communauté muséale internationale.

La Journée internationale des musées a pour objectif de sensibiliser la société civile au fait que " les musées sont un moyen important d'échanges culturels, d'enrichissement des cultures, du développement de la compréhension mutuelle, de la coopération et de la paix entre les peuples. " Organisée le 18 mai ou autour de cette même date, les manifestations et activités prévues pour célébrer la Journée internationale des musées peuvent durer une journée, un week-end ou une semaine. La JIM a été célébrée pour la première fois il y a 40 ans. Son objectif est clair : diffuser le message que les musées sont un moyen important d'échanges culturels et d'enrichissement des cultures, et d'encourager la compréhension mutuelle, la coopération et la paix entre les peuples. La Journée internationale des musées fédère de plus en plus de musées à travers le monde. L'année dernière, plus de 37 000 musées ont participé à l'événement dans près de 156 pays.

Journée international des musées 2021 : " L'Avenir des musées: se rétablir et se réinventer "

Avec le thème "L'avenir des musées : se rétablir et se réinventer", la Journée internationale des musées 2021 invite les musées, leurs professionnels et leurs communautés à développer, imaginer et partager de nouvelles pratiques de (co)création de valeur, de nouveaux modèles commerciaux pour les institutions culturelles et des solutions innovantes pour les défis sociaux, économiques et environnementaux du présent.

When is International Museum Day?

International Museum Day is an annual event held on the 18th of May

What is International Museum Day?

International Museum day is an event run by the International Council of Museums (ICOM). Although it began officially in 1977, it can be traced back to 1951 to a meeting called the Crusade for Museums. The ICOM state their mission as:

"The research, conservation, continuation and communication to society of the world's natural and cultural heritage, present and future, tangible and intangible."

The participating museums plan events and exhibitions in accordance with a different theme each year. The theme in 2021 is 'The Future of Museums: Recover and Imagine', inspired by the changes the world has experienced in the last year and urging people to reimagine the museums of the future, to respond to the issues we face in the present.

The event is a yearly celebration of the role of museums in our society and aims to engage the public with lots of interesting and creative activities. It also provides a platform to raise awareness of any topics or issues that the museums feel are important.

What is a museum?

A museum is a place that displays collections of documents and historical artefacts of all different kinds from cultures, societies and nature around the world. Different museums may focus on different things.

Famous museums around the world:

British Museum, London

Guggenheim Museum, New York

Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam

Museo Larco, Lima

The Acropolis Museum, Athens

A museum-hopping bus-tour in Miselerland, Luxembourg

Live music, poetry and dancing

Night openings of museums in several countries

Workshops and competitions

Sharing stories

How is International Museum Day celebrated?

Events and activities for International Museum Day vary throughout the world. Events from previous years include:

Why's it important?

Museums are there to preserve history. Walking through a museum is like going back in time, experiencing things as they were thousands of years ago and learning about different races and cultures.

By drawing attention to issues such as illegal trafficking of cultural artefacts, governments and societies are more likely to act to put an end to this crime.

People are more likely to support and fund their local museums.

It's an opportunity for people to learn something new.

The Hat Museum, Stockport

The Poncho Museum, Copacabana, Bolivia

The Big Mac Museum, Pennsylvania

They're a place where cultures exchange - an exchange that has a positive impact on contemporary society. Witnessing the rich histories of different nations, races and religions helps improve understanding and cooperation between cultures. These curated stories and artefacts expand our awareness, helping us to be more welcoming to other people.

Preserving and understanding history is vital if we are to progress as the kind of compassionate and understanding society that we all hope for. It's important to recognise the important role that museums play in this, whilst also reflecting on how they can improve in what they do.

Other ways that International Museum Day has a positive impact:

Museums often fall into categories like art, science and history, but some are more specific such as these interesting examples:
