With an ICOM individual or institutional membership, you can join ICOM’s International Committees, which represent different types of museum collections and professions.

ICOM’s International Committees are global think tanks that regroup museum professionals from the same field to promote the exchange of scientific knowledge and professional know-how. Each of the 30 International Committees organises annual meetings and workshops around the world, giving to its members the opportunity to broaden their horizons and build a strong and international professional network. Their findings help shape the future of the museum profession by defining standards, publishing studies and establishing partnerships with other cultural organisations.
