'Hyperconnected Museums: New Approaches, New Publics' is the motto chosen by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) for the 2018 edition of the 'International Museum Day' (DIM).
In an increasingly connected world, it is impossible to understand the role of museums without taking into account all the connections they establish.
They are an inherent part of their local communities, their cultural landscape and their natural environment.
Technology allows museums to reach beyond their usual audience through something as simple as a hashtag.
Some museums do not even need technology to create new connections;
For them, presenting their collection in a different and innovative way is enough to attract a totally new audience.
The 'International Museum Day' 2018 is an opportunity for all the museums of the world to seek new approaches and new audiences through analysis, reinforcement and the creation of connections.
