International Museum Day 2025: The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities

Recently, the official website of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) announced the theme for International Museum Day 2025 "The Future of Museums in a Rapidly Changing Society", which is aligned with the 27th ICOM General Conference in Dubai.
In an era marked by constant transformation, museums find themselves at the forefront of change, navigating a dynamic landscape shaped by shifting global events and evolving societal needs. This year’s International Museum Day theme invites us to reimagine the role of museums as essential connectors, innovators, and stewards of cultural identity, and underscores the critical conversations ahead—exploring how museums can safeguard intangible heritage, harness the energy of youth, and adapt to new technological frontiers. Together, we will chart a collective path toward empowering museums and communities to thrive in the face of rapid change.
