International Museum Day

The International Council of Museums (ICOM) established International Museum Day in 1977 to encourage public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society. Traditionally, International Museum Day is organised around 18 May. Museums are key contributors to the wellbeing and to sustainable development of our communities. As trusted institutions and important threads in our shared social fabric, they are uniquely placed to create a cascading effect to foster positive change. There are many ways in which museums can contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals: from supporting climate action and fostering inclusivity to tackling social isolation and improving mental health.

As part of International Museum Day, you can visit the following Prague museums:

• National Gallery Prague
• National Museum
