The 18th May is celebrated, as you know, all over the world as International Museum Day and is dedicated each year to a specific topic relating to museums and heritage protection.
We would like to inform you that for 2017 the International Council of Museums (ICOM) has chosen the theme "Museums and controversial stories: Museums speak for those not called."
By choosing this theme the ICOM wishes to highlight the museums as social peace bodies, believing that the presentation of controversial or contentious issues can be a first step towards social reconciliation and harmonious coexistence of humans. The museums can contribute to understanding difficult, controversial or complex aspects of human history. Moreover, as mediation and dialogue spaces have the potential to play an essential role in the peaceful treatment of traumatic stories, offering multiple perspectives and readings.
More information about this year's celebration of International Museum Day is available here .
The aim of establishing the DIM in 1977 was to make widely known the basic principle of the International Council of Museums, namely that museums must be carriers of cultural exchanges, to enhance learning, to promote mutual understanding, peace and cooperation among humans.
