International Federation of Museums

The International Federation of Museums (ICOM) is a global organization that connects museum professionals worldwide. It promotes collaboration, ethical standards, and best practices for museums to protect cultural heritage, foster education, and share knowledge. ICOM also develops guidelines for museum operations, supports the preservation of diverse collections, and advocates for the importance of museums in society. Through its network, members can exchange ideas, develop professional skills, and contribute to the global cultural community. Founded in 1946, ICOM seeks to strengthen the role of museums as vital institutions for cultural understanding and societal development.
