In 2022, ICOM became a member of the #ClimateHeritage Network, a voluntary mutual support network committed to tackling #ClimateChange and achieving the ambitions of the Paris Agreement by mobilising arts, culture, and #heritage communities.

🌾ICOM’s active participation in the network, as a steering committee member, allows us to show solidarity and work together with like-minded organisations while promoting the role of #museums in #ClimateAction and #Sustainability. @fridaysforfuture

🌿Collective actions with numerous #culture sector partners are currently being planned to ensure high visibility for #museums during a side event at #Mondiacult2022 (Mexico, Sep 2022) and through activities linked to #COP27 (Egypt, Nov 2022). @cop27_egypt

As museums evolve amidst a changing society and fluctuating public policies, so do their social responsibilities.

#Museums, by addressing contemporary societal issues, past and current injustices as well as difficult histories, have an important role to play in supporting #peace and human rights.

They can do so by becoming a space for dialogue among and between diverse communities, and by fostering creative problem-solving. ICOM and its network seek to promote these discussions through mobilizing the international museum community and its many stakeholders.

"The ‘emotional turn’ in museum practice" by Marzia Varutti

🔭All museums engender #emotions: what is represented in an exhibition may influence what visitors will know, think, remember and do – as a consequence of how they felt while experiencing it.

#Museums have aimed to affect visitors since the emergence of 16th century cabinets of curiosity and their wondrous contents. In the 19th century, the Great Exhibitions – large fairs displaying the cultural and industrial achievements of nations – amazed visitors with the scale, ingenuity and exoticism of their displays; these emotional reactions served as a basis for museums to instil, envision, and materialise ideologies of nationalism, imperialism and modernity. Contemporary museums continue to leverage the establishment of emotional connections with visitors through carefully curated exhibitions.

In this article, Marzia Varutti presents 3️⃣ complementary perspectives on how emotions are transforming museum practice, by provoking the rethinking of exhibition design, institutional re-assessment, and new ideas and approaches engendered by research.
