International Museum Day 2014: Museum Collections Make Connections


Every year since 1977, International Museum Day is held worldwide sometime around May 18. This year, more than 35,000 museums are getting ready to recognize the event in 143 countries on the five continents.

At the Kamloops Art Gallery all visitors can enjoy free admission to the Gallery Saturday, May 17. Unreal continues in the central galleries, Rodney Konopaki and Rhonda Neufeld's Suggestions from Kamloops in The Cube and The Swewll Project on the BMO Open Gallery.

The theme of the International Museum Day 2014, Museum Collections Make Connections, reminds us that museums are living institutions that help create bonds between visitors, generations and cultures around the world. In the case of the Kamloops Art Gallery, acquisitions to the Gallery's permanent collection are ongoing and the collection now includes over 2,800 works of art available for display, research and loan to other galleries and museums. A Member-Only Tour of the Gallery's permanent collection was held May 4 as a way of thanking our members for their support and sharing new acquisitions to our permanent collection with them.
"Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples". ICOM International Council of Museums
