Development of society: International Museum Day today

Countries across the world, including Pakistan, will mark May 18 as International Museum Day. This day is an occasion to raise awareness on how important museums are in the development of society. International Council of Museums (ICOM) Advisory Committee organises the theme of this event that, given the high number of countries involved, lasts a day, a weekend, a week or even a month. This international event has confirmed its popularity in many countries across the world. These recent years, International Museum Day has been experiencing its highest involution with almost 30,000 museums organising activities in more than 120 countries.
