International IMD-project of Wikimedia

On 18 May the International Council of Museums (ICOM) celebrates the International Museum Day 2021 with the theme “The Future of Museums: Recover and Reimagine”. Under the lead of Wikimedia CH the Wikimedia associations Austria, Germany, France and Italy support this initiative with online campaigns. Together we invite volunteers to complete and improve the presence of museums on Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata.
ICOM has been organizing the International Museum Day for over 40 years.
