Museums help to preserve the world’s culture and history. Their role of collecting objects and materials of cultural and historical importance helps us to better understand our heritage and provides an important link to our past.
Today, May 18th, we honor museums across the globe in support of International Museum Day. Since 1977, the International Council of Museums has organized International Museum Day to honor museums and what they stand for worldwide.
Below is a roundup of ones that inspire us within our LA community and beyond. Be sure to check out their websites to find links to free inspiring content for you to watch, listen, learn, read, and browse while at home. Should you be in a position to donate at this time, please do so.
Create awareness for the day by sharing your favorite museum on social media with #InternationalMuseumDay or #IMD.
