International Museum Day 2012 gets started
The worldwide community of museums will celebrate the 35th anniversary of International Museum Day around 18 May, 2012. IMD 2012 will be launched officially on 2 November, 2011 on the suggested theme, Museums in a Changing World. New challenges, New inspirations.
The coming event will build on the success of IMD2011, which garnered record-breaking participation with events hosted in more than 120 countries. In 2011, IMD launched its own Facebook page, which attracted more than 1,500 friends, and the official posters for the event were translated into 37 languages.
The 2012 event will encourage visitors to contemplate the role of museums in our new society, in the era of new media, and to discover and rediscover how museums are looking to the future in terms of sustainable development.
Specific programming could be built around the five topics suggested below:
- The role of museums in a “new” society
- Environmental sustainability
- Using the past to build the future
- New media
- Innovation
For the second consecutive year, International Museum Day will have a dedicated website (http://imd2012.icom.museum), which will be available from 2 November, as well as a Facebook page. On this site, you will be able to download the official IMD poster.
This year, the scope of communications tools has widened, and participants can also download flyers, postcards and web banners for the event, on the IMD website. The site will be updated regularly with press releases, the communications kit and a calendar of activities offered by various museums around the world.
Also this year, each National Committee may send an activity programme for a maximum of five museums by 17 April, 2012 at the latest, which will then be published on the IMD2012 website.
For further information on IMD2012, visit http://imd2012.icom.museum from 2 November onwards or contact the ICOM Secretariat at imd@icom.museum
We hope you will join the International Council of Museums in celebrating 35 years of this key event for the international museum community!
Schweiz
Der Internationale Museumstag in der Schweiz.
Veranstaltet vom Verband der Museen der Schweiz VMS und ICOM Schweiz - Internationaler Museumsrat begehen auch die Schweizer Museen am 20. Mai 2012 unter dem Motto Welt im Wandel - Museen im Wandel den Internationalen Museumstag.
ALLGEMEIN
Der Internationale Museumstag wurde zwar 1977 ausgerufen, aber erst 1978 das erste Mal gefeiert. Hier der Wortlaut der ICOM-Resolution vom 28. Mai 1977:
12th General Assembly of ICOM, Moscow, USSR, 28 May 1977
Resolution No. 5
International Museum Day
Noting the ever-growing role of museums of many countries among institutions of science, culture and technology, in line with deep-seated processes in the development of the aspirations and progressive actions of people throughout the world seeking ways to intensify communion and mutual understanding among peoples,
Considers it expedient, with the aim of further unifying the creative aspirations and efforts of museums and drawing the attention of the world public to their activity, to take a decision on the annual holding of an International Museum Day. This day to be held using the slogan: "Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples",
Recommends that the International Museum Day should be held annually on 18 May, starting in 1978, and accompanied by the opening of new museums and exhibitions, meetings with visitors, acquaintance of the public with the aims and tasks and practical activity of the International Council of Museums and its national organizations, publication of materials on this subject in the press and also by the organization of exchange exhibitions and international forums to discuss major problems of the theory and practice of the museum profession,
Expresses confidence that the annual International Museum Day will help to increase the role played by the museum which uses the universal language of the original object in order to develop international understanding.
