18 May: International Museum Day

  • 20 May 2022

International Museum Day is observed on May 18 every year to raise awareness among people about the museums.

  • A museum describes the journey of a nation from prehistory to modernity by displaying enriched historical artifacts such as tools, weapons, clothes, and jewelry. Hence, to mark the importance of the Museum, every year International Museum Day is observed.
  • This year, the theme for International Museum Day is 'The Power of Museums'
