ICOM and UNESCO have renewed their partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding, enhancing their commitment to cultural heritage protection, education, and technology integration. The renewed MoU sets the stage for joint initiatives, the exchange of expertise, and strengthened advocacy efforts on a global level.
International Museum Day 2025, themed "The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities," will be celebrated on May 18th. This event emphasises museums' roles in fostering resilience, innovation, and inclusivity, aligning with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and promoting social progress.
The International Council of Museums launched the ICOM Red List of Greek Cultural Objects at Risk to combat illicit trafficking of Greek heritage. This tool identifies vulnerable cultural artifacts, aiding law enforcement and cultural institutions in protecting Greece's rich cultural legacy.
