Each year, the Advisory Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) defines a specific theme for International Museum Day. This year it is in the spirit of: "Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, co-operation and peace among peoples".
