Every year since 1977, the International Museum Day is celebrated around the world, in the presence of the President of Icom-Iran and the Officials of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism. Mrs. Myriam Goetz-Rahgoshay, Director of the Museum also attended this meeting.

This day is an opportunity for museum professionals to meet the general public and raise awareness of the challenges that museums face in order to be institutions serving society and its development. This international day is held every year around May 18 and carries high its motto: "Museums, an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures, development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace between the peoples ".
