International Museum Day HistoryInternational Museum Day (IMD) aims to raise public awareness about the important role museums play in social development. This recognition underscores how museums serve as institutions that conserve, communicate, and transmit the cultural heritage and history of societies. Highlighting global diversity, it presents museums as sites of dialogue for promoting mutual understanding, cooperation, and peace among people across the world. IMD originated in 1977 when ICOM, in its 12th general conference in Moscow, passed a resolution for an annual worldwide observance. Universally, it involves the participation of more than 30,000 museums located in more than 120 countries. In the United States context, IMD provides an occasion for Americans to reflect and appreciate their history, their diverse cultures and their relationship with the rest of the world. In essence, it gives Americans an opportunity to connect with their roots and comprehend their placement in the global cultural map. In the United States, International Museum Day is marked with numerous activities and specific programs across various museums. Museums acutely plan diverse events, including workshops, exhibits, lectures, and even free entries to lure the public in appreciating their value. Whether it's the art museums in New York, the historical museums in Boston or the Smithsonian museums in Washington D.C., each brings a unique dimension to this important day. International Museum Day typically falls on or around May 18 each year. International Museum Day facts
