Here you can find more ideas about how to use virtual museums in the lessons.
Every year since 1977 International Museum Day (IMD) is held all over the world on the 18th of May. The event is organized by the ICOM (International Council of Museums). Each year IMD has a specific theme based on free events and activities participating museums organize for their societies. Its main idea is to highlight the importance of museums in society.
Because of COVID-19 IMD 2021 will go digital. The theme of this year is “Museum for equality: diversity and inclusion”. It is devoted to gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs, and other disparities. ICOM wants museums to become a unifying platform that through their expositions will reflect the diversity of museum communities and will create tools to identify and overcome bias.
We’ve prepared some activities and ideas related to this event, which will make the lesson informative and interesting.
