The ICOM Annual Meetings 2026 have officially come to a close.   Held on 24–25 June at @unesco Headquarters in Paris, this year’s meetings marked a very special moment: the celebration of the ICOM’s 80th Anniversary under the theme “Museums uniting a divided world.” A major milestone was reached with the adoption of the revised ICOM Code of Ethics, approved with 86% support — a landmark achievement for the global museum community.   Across two days, participants came together for keynote speeches, intergenerational dialogues, panel discussions, and meaningful exchanges on the role of museums in today’s society. The celebrations continued with an evening event at the Musée de l’Homme, bringing the ICOM community together in a memorable setting.   Stay tuned for more information soon to be published on our channels.

📝 Oral history has long been one of the most powerful tools in the #museum practitioner’s repertoire: a means of recovering voices that written records erase and of giving archives a pulse. Yet when the histories we are documenting concern atrocity, forced displacement, sexual violence or collective persecution, the work transforms. 💡 #ICOMVoices is an editorial space on the ICOM website that allows #museum and heritage professionals and researchers to share their experiences and reflections. 👉 Read the full ICOM Voices at icom.museum and via the link in bio
