The International Council of Museums first celebrated this day in 1977 and since then every year they come up with a new theme to make things more exciting and fun. Some of the themes include globalization, indigenous peoples, bridging cultural gaps, and caring for the environment.
The event may last a day, a weekend, a week, or even a month.
