Dubai Culture and Arts Authority is celebrating International Museum Day under the theme, 'The Future of Museums: Recover and Reimagine.'
International Museum Day is celebrated every year globally on 18 May, and helps emphasise the importance of museums and to highlight the rich history by connecting with the traditions and values from the past.
To commemorate this year's celebration, Dubai Culture is offering individuals free entry into museums across Dubai.
The museums around Dubai will further be developed to upgrade the experience for visitors by developing programmes and creating a position for museums as a hub for knowledge.
The theme for the year invites individuals to create new business models for cultural institutions and innovative solutions for the social, economic and environmental challenges of the present.
Over 37,000 museums participated in the event in 158 countries last year.
