May 18th - Celebrating International Museum Day

[OliverKIWI]

The objective of International Museum Day (IMD) is to raise awareness about the fact that, “Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.”

The banner for IMD 2020 can be viewed from International Council of Museum website

Everybody loves the museum. When we travel, we always want to visit those famous museums around the world.

My favourite museums:

The Louvre, SFMOMA, The Britsh Museum.

Share yours here to celebrate International Museum Day.

How nice!! Well done! You love the museum and galleries! Wonderful collection! We’ve only had a brief tour of Europe and obviously missed a lot of museums. @KarolT

[OliverKIWI]

@Andrey_K Good to know.

Here in New Zealand, the museum is free for the locals. Tourists have to pay a small entry fee. Yes, they are closed here as well.
