International Museum Day 2020, Hong Kong

Museums for Equality: Diversity and Inclusion

In 1977, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) designated 18 May as the annual International Museum Day (IMD) to raise public awareness of the important role that museums play in society. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department has been responding to this important appeal since 2001 by organising IMD events in mid-May every year.

The theme of IMD 2020 is “Museums for Equality: Diversity and Inclusion”. The potential of museums to create meaningful experiences for peoples of all origins and backgrounds is central to their social value.

This year, International Museum Day in Hong Kong is scheduled for 16-17 May 2020 (Saturday and Sunday).
