In an era marked by constant transformation, museums find themselves at the forefront of change, navigating a dynamic landscape shaped by shifting global events and evolving societal needs. This year’s International Museum Day theme, The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities, invites us to reimagine the role of museums as essential connectors, innovators, and stewards of cultural identity. Aligned with the 27th ICOM General Conference in Dubai, this theme underscores the critical conversations ahead—exploring how museums can safeguard intangible heritage, harness the energy of youth, and adapt to new technological frontiers. Together, we will chart a collective path toward empowering museums and communities to thrive in the face of rapid change.
