Dear colleagues, esteemed museum professionals, and devoted guardians of our cultural heritage,

On behalf of the Azerbaijan National ICOM Committee and personally, I warmly congratulate you on the occasion of International Museum Day, May 18!

This significant day offers us a valuable opportunity to express our deep gratitude and respect to everyone involved in museum work worldwide and in our country. Thanks to your dedicated efforts, museums have become not only places preserving historical memory but also vibrant centers of education and social dialogue.

The theme for International Museum Day 2025 — “Museums, sustainability and the global goals” — highlights once again the indispensable role museums play in community development, sustainability, and the achievement of global objectives. The initiatives, research projects, and educational programs carried out by museums in Azerbaijan are a testament to the high professionalism and advancement in this field.

I wish you continued success, constant inspiration, a steady flow of visitors, and ongoing appreciation from society for the important work you do!

With deep respect and gratitude,

Babayeva Asmer 

Chairperson of the Azerbaijan National ICOM Committee
