Institutional Members
Institutional memberships provide a broad range of benefits, including but not limited to:
- Some 250 ICOM training and other activities organized yearly in the U.S. and around the world.
- ICOM membership cards to distribute to your staff for free admission to museums worldwide. Institutions receive a certain amount of ICOM cards depending on their membership level (min: 3 to max: 8 cards).
- The acceptance of the card is at the discretion of individual venues, museums, and institutions. Please contact the venue before you travel to check whether they accept the card. [Please note: According to the ICOM statutes, there is no specific obligation for institutional members apart from accepting and adhering to the ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums. However, as a gesture of solidarity, museums offer free admission to ICOM members (those with the card and annual sticker)].
- Allow up to 3 employees from the institution to join as representatives and be voting members in International Committees.
- Use the institutional membership number to attend webinars, conferences, workshops, free entry to exhibitions, etc.
- Access to a variety of timely resources and unlimited opportunities for collaboration.
- Advocacy for museums and cultural heritage.
