The International Museum Day is held on May 18 every year and is initiated and founded by the International Museum Association (ICOM). In 1977, in order to promote the healthy development of the global museum cause and attract the public's understanding, participation and attention to the museum cause, the International Museum Association announced to the world that May 18, 1977 was the first International Museum Day, and determined the theme of the International Museum Day every year. The theme of International Museum Day 2018 is "Hyperconnected Museums: New Methods, New Public", which indicates that in today's increasingly developed science and technology, museums also use the power of science and technology to attract more new audiences through new means of collection interpretation.
