ICOM, the International Council of Museums, considers that over recent decades museums have radically transformed, adjusted and re-invented their principles, policies and practices, to the point where the ICOM museum definition no longer reflects the challenges and manifold visions and responsibilities.
It is therefore inviting members and other interested parties to take part in creating a new, more current definition. You can submit a proposal on the form below until May 20th, 2019. A decision on a new definition will take place in Kyoto in September 2019.
