ProprietorInternational Council of Museums (ICOM), Europe and Slovene Ethnographic Museum

The Slovene ICOM Committee was established as an Association in 1991 and it has functioned in line with ICOM programmes. All projects have been financed by the Ministry of Culture. The main task of the Slovene ICOM Committee is informing Slovene museum experts on international events in the field of museology and at the same time the presentation of Slovene museum activities internationally. All individual members of ICOM get the ICOM News and Study Series plus a membership card which permits free access to the majority of world museums. Institutions also get the Museum Magazine published by UNESCO and three membership cards. All members are eligible to become active members of one international committee. ICOM Slovenia has hosted several conferences, including in 1993 an annual ICOM/CIDOC conference on museum documentation, in 1994 an ICOM/ICR annual conference on regional museums in collaboration with Austria and Italy, and in 2001 a conference of CEICOM (the Central European ICOM Committee). In 2003 it also hosted three international ICOM Committees – CIMUSET (International Committee for Museums and Collections of Science and Technology), MPR (Committee for Marketing and Public Relations) and ICTOP (International Committee for the Training of Personnel). Four Slovene board members currently sit on ICOM international committees, and Dr Orest Jarh, Director of the Technical Museum of Slovenia, has been a member of the Executive Committee of ICOM/CIMUSET since 2001. In 2003 ICOM Slovenia became a member of the newly-established ICOM Europe.
