    International Museum Day (IMD) 2013
    The museum community decided to celebrate IMD 2013 around the theme:
     Museums (Memory + Creativity) = Social Change
     The richness of our historical heritage, preserved and displayed by museums, together with the inventiveness and vitality that have characterized the museum sector`s action in recent years, are where the strength of museum institutions lies today. Reconciling their traditional mission of conservation with the creativity necessary for their revival and the development of their audiences – this is the evolution that museums are trying to undertake, with the strong belief that their presence and actions can transform society constructively.
     This truly optimistic theme in the form of an equation dynamically gathers several concepts that are essential to defining what a museum is today, highlighting the universal nature of those institutions and their positive influence on society. It summarizes the complexity of museum tasks and recalls that they are meant to contribute to community development and gathering together.
