Museums teach us about our past and open our minds to new ideas — two essential steps in building a better future. The theme of  2022 International Museum Day, which is also the theme of the 26th International Council of Museums Conference is  the POWER of MUSEUMS in transforming the world.

Sustainability: Museums are strategic partners in the implementation of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). As key actors in their local communities, they contribute to a wide variety of Goals, which include fostering short-circuit and social economy and disseminating scientific information on environmental challenges.

Digitalization and accessibility: Museums have become innovative playing-grounds where new technologies can be developed and applied to everyday life. Digital innovation can make museums more accessible and engaging, helping audiences understand complex and nuanced concepts.

Education: Through its collections and programes, museums thread a social fabric that is essential in community building. By upholding democratic values and providing life-long learning opportunities to all, they contribute to shaping an informed and engaged civil society.
