ADDED LATER: I just discovered from Irina's Moscow blog that yesterday was International Museum Day. I must remember it for next year! I try to do my bit to honour art, in all its forms. This is what Wikipedia said about the day:
The International Museum Day is a celebration that is held each year on or about 18 May. Each year, the Advisory Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) defines a specific theme for International Museum Day.
| “ | The event provides the opportunity for museum professionals to meet the public and alert them to the challenges that museums face if they are to be — as in the ICOM definition of museums — 'an institution in the service of society and of its development'. |
