International Museum Day 2019
Since 1977, ICOM (International Council of Museums) has been organising the International Museum Day (IMD) around the world, by selecting each year a theme that is at the heart of the concerns of society.
The museums joining the initiative plan events and activities related to the chosen theme and draw in their audience; as a result they enhance the important role of museums as institutions at the heart of society, which have the power to establish dialogue between cultures, to build bridges for a peaceful world and to define a sustainable future.
The events and activities planned to celebrate this anniversary are organized every year around 18 May, and can last a day, a weekend or a whole week.
The museums taking part in the event in Trentino, which welcome visitors with a special price admission ticket, are the following:
