The IMD provides the opportunity for museum professionals to meet the public and alert them as to the challenges that museums face. Indeed, following the definition of museums provided by ICOM, a museum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment. International Museum Day therefore serves as a platform to raise public awareness on the role museums play in the development of society today, on an international level. 






Il nuovo giorno è come una tela, sta a noi scegliere le emozioni con cui dipingerla...
Rosa Di Lernia

La vita è come un arcobaleno, ogni giorno un colore diverso.
A volte sei tu che scegli il colore,
altre volte, è il colore a scegliere te...

Le piccole cose hanno la loro grandezza.
Giuseppe Donadei

Tu sei l’unico disegnatore della tua vita, sei il pastello che colora la tua strada, l’acqua che rinfresca la tua giornata, sei il musicista della tua colonna sonora, lo scrittore della tua storia, il pittore del quadro in cui vivi, tu sei tutto quello che ti circonda, la vita è tua, il resto è solo un contorno.
