Are you a museum professional who wants to get more out of your area of expertise? Do you value international cooperation and knowledge-sharing and would you like to be informed about current developments in our field? Then become a member of ICOM Netherlands! You can do this as an individual, but also at institutional level. Membership of ICOM Netherlands means that you are also a member of ICOM International.

What are the advantages?
- First of all, the international knowledge-sharing network of colleagues.
- You can really make a difference by participating in the various International Committees and Working Groups that deal with important issues in our field.
- As a member, you also have access to a range of ICOM publications, toolkits and conferences and you regularly receive discounts on activities of partner institutes.
- As a member of ICOM Netherlands, you are also entitled to various subsidy schemes.
- Finally, you will receive the ICOM card, which provides access to museums worldwide. However, this is not a right derived from the ICOM card but a courtesy offered by the museums in question.
