The theme for this year’s International Museum Day is “The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities.” This global focus highlights the vital role museums play in adapting to social, technological, and environmental shifts while continuing to serve as centers for learning, inclusion, and innovation.
At SEAMEO SPAFA, this theme resonates with the goals of our upcoming professional development course, Curating Future: Museum for Sustainable Southeast Asia, taking place in June 2025. The course centers on Interpretation for Tomorrow, exploring how museums in the region can foster more relevant, forward-thinking interpretive practices to engage diverse audiences and support sustainable futures.
We encourage everyone to visit a museum this weekend and reflect on the essential role these institutions play in cultural exchange, mutual understanding, and community resilience.
