About us
The International Council of Museums (ICOM) is an international organisation of museums and museum professionals which is committed to the research, conservation, continuation and communication to society of the world’s natural and cultural heritage, present and future, tangible and intangible. Aotearoa New Zealand was one of the 14 founding nations of ICOM in 1946.
ICOM Aotearoa New Zealand is the New Zealand National Committee of ICOM and became an Incorporated Society in 2019. It connects those working in museums here with each other and encourages engagement and exchange with ICOM colleagues and organisations overseas.
ICOM Aotearoa New Zealand is currently changing the way that we operate, so please bear with us while we reconfigure our organisation. If you or your museum are not already members, we'd love to have you join us as we take a new direction.
Annual General Meeting 2020
Usually our AGM takes place during the Museums Aotearoa annual conference. However, due to the Covid-19 situation, our AGM will be held via Zoom on Thursday 27 August, starting at 4.30pm. See the Agenda here and AGM papers here. Register via Zoom here.
International conferences
After 25 successful editions, ICOM’s flagship triennial conference has become a worldwide hub for exchange about the topical issues museums tackle today, as well as the most innovative solutions. The next conference is planned for 2022 in Prague, Czech Republic.
