The International Council of Museums has designated May 18 as International Museum Day.
According to ICOM's website: "This day is an occasion to raise awareness on how important museums are in the development of society. ICOM Advisory Committee organises the theme of this event that, given the high number of countries involved, lasts a day, a weekend, a week or even a month.From America to Oceania including Africa, Europe and Asia, this international event has confirmed its popularity."
"These recent years, International Museum Day has been experiencing its highest involution with almost 30,000 museums that organised activities in more than 100 countries."

The 'Schiaparelli And Prada: Impossible Conversations' Costume Institute Exhibition recently opened at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to great fanfare. The show runs to August 19th.
Film director Baz Luhrmann created videos of conversations between the two Italian fashion designers: Elsa Schiaparelli (who was portrayed by dynamic actress Judy Davis) and Miuccia Prada. The conversations highlight their similar concerns and outlooks.
