Discover the theme of the event for 2018

Each year a different theme is proposed

Hyperconnectivity is a term invented in 2001 to design the multiple means of communication we have today, such as face-to-face contact, email, instant messaging, telephone or the Internet. This global network of connections becomes each day more complex, diverse and integrated. 
In the hyperconnected world of today, museums join the trend. This is the reason why the International Council of Museums (ICOM) has chosen the theme Hyperconnected museums: New approaches, new publics for the International Museum Day 2018.
