ICOM-US: Your Passport to the World of Museums

When you join ICOM-US, you also become a member of the International Council of Museums (ICOM),
a worldwide network of 35,000 museum professionals at 20,000 museums in 137 countries and territories, working to create a world where cultural heritage and natural resources are universally understood, valued and protected. ICOM-US, based in Washington, DC, is the National Committee of ICOM for the United States.

You gain access to diverse perspectives and resources on timely issues, plus conferences, meetings, and workshops held in the United States and all over the globe. You may become involved in up to three of 30 international committees, each focused on a museum specialty.

And there’s more: Your ICOM card gives you free or discounted admission to participating museums throughout the world!

ICOM-US facilitates U.S. museum professionals’ participation in the global museum community, in addition to representing and advocating for U.S. museums’ international interests within ICOM. To date, over 1,500 museum professionals and 64 museums from 24 states, have joined ICOM-US.
