WELCOME TO ICFA
ICOM ICFA offers institutions and museum professionals opportunities to communicate, providing them with support, advice, and information. The Committee facilitates knowledge sharing, exchange of ideas, and exploration of international partnerships. It provides a platform for professional exchange of views and experiences regarding the intersections of museums, collections, and art. This LinkedIn group is a platform for the professional exchange of views and experiences that explore the intersections of museums, collections, and art. We encourage participation from all our members.
The ICOM International Committee for Museums and Collections of Fine Arts was founded in 1980 and is one of the association’s oldest committees. With over 4,000 members who share a professional interest in art-related issues in museums, ICOM ICFA is an inclusive and powerful platform for the sector.
The Committee also supports, documents, and increases awareness of working with and caring for the arts across all areas of the museum sector, and strives to collaborate with other ICOM International Committees on initiatives of mutual concern.
Our members are committed to the ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums which sets minimum professional standards and encourages recognition of values shared by the international museum community. The Committee is a key vehicle for achieving the ICOM Strategic Plan, and is especially committed to fulfilling the commitment to decolonisation by operating as a global forum to address issues and identify best practices on decolonising museum spaces.
The International Council of Museums is an international organisation of museums and museum professionals which is committed to the research, conservation, continuation and dissemination of the world’s natural and cultural heritage, past, present and future, in both tangible and intangible forms.
