International Museum Day, 18 May 2011

The theme for International Museum Day 2011 is Museum and Memory. International Museum Day aims to increase public awareness of the role of museums in developing society. Museums preserve memories and tell stories. They have in their collections numerous objects that are fundamental to the memory of the communities we live in. These objects are the expression of our natural and cultural heritage. International Museum Day 2011 will be an opportunity to discover and rediscover your individual and collective memory.
