International Museum Day is organised by almost 32,000 museums in 129 countries. It will therefore very likely be celebrated near where you live.

To find out about the events to be held in your area on 18 May, you can refer to the detailed programme, which presents a number of events by continent. You can also be informed of the news by becoming a fan of the IMD Facebook page.

A great number of museums that take part in the event do not necessarily appear on the website or on Facebook. That is why we advise you to visit the websites of the institutions in which you are interested or to contact them directly.
