International Museum Day 2020
Since 1977 International Council of Museums ICOM 18 May is marked as the International Museum Day, with the aim of raising the awareness of museums in the society and its development. Each year many museums, including the ones in Slovenia, participate.
These year’s IMD 2020 theme is Museums for Equality: Diversity and Inclusion. We’ll celebrate it digitally this year, with a joint virtual exhibition of Slovenian museums.
MnZC collaborates with the poster below and represents good practice regarding equality, diversity and inclusiveness of vulnerable groups. For years we are trying to improve the accessibility of museum contents to disabled people. In recent years, special attention has been given to sensory and physically impaired. In order to provide different types of accessibility, the museum is classified as an inclusive museum.
Opening of the museum
Dear visitors,
our museum is also slowly coming back. However, as we want to ensure safety for both the visitors of the museum and the employees, we ask you for a little patience to prepare everything necessary for the museum to remain a safe space.
Like most Slovenian museums, we will open our doors after the holidays on Tuesday, 5 May 2020.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
