The International Council on Museums (ICOM)

The International Council on Museums (ICOM) is a global organization dedicated to supporting museums and museum professionals. Founded in 1946, it aims to strengthen the role of museums in society, promote best practices, and enhance cultural heritage. ICOM sets ethical standards and helps museums address issues like conservation, education, and community engagement. It connects professionals through conferences, publications, and initiatives, facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing across borders. Ultimately, ICOM strives to ensure that museums are dynamic spaces for learning, preservation, and cultural exchange, contributing to a greater understanding of our shared history and diversity.
