International Museum Day is celebrated annually on May 18. The day was established in 1977 on the initiative of the International Council of Museums (ICOM). The main objective is to highlight the important role that museums play in society.
International Museum Day, established by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) to promote cultural exchange and cooperation among nations, is celebrated each year with a different theme. This year's theme is "Museums for Education and Research."
As part of the celebration of International Museum Day, an "Open Door Day" has been designated in the museums under the Ministry of Culture in order to effectively manage people's leisure time and promote appreciation of Azerbaijan's rich cultural heritage through museum institutions.
Thus, on May 18, both citizens and visitors of our country will be able to enjoy free entrance to museums.
