A museum is a not-for-profit, permanent institution in the service of society that researches, collects, conserves, interprets and exhibits tangible and intangible heritage. Open to the public, accessible and inclusive, museums foster diversity and sustainability. They operate and communicate ethically, professionally and with the participation of communities, offering varied experiences for education, enjoyment, reflection and knowledge sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ICOM – International Council of Museums<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The New Definition of Museum was approved at the General Assembly of the 26th ICOM General Conference on 24 August 2022 in Prague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Links to dozens of translations of the new definition of museum are available in the notes, including in Guaran\u00ed, a still-living indigenous language of South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new museum definition is \u200b\u200bon the ICOM International website and is available in dozens of languages<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new museum definition is in Portuguese on the ICOM Brazil website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
