The 27th General Assembly of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) was held in Dubai from 11 to 14 November 2025, with the participation of museum directors, researchers, experts and cultural heritage activists from all over the world. This important event, which is the main international gathering in the field of museology and cultural heritage, provides an opportunity to exchange experiences, examine common challenges and outline the future vision of museums globally.
During the conference, the elections for the Asia-Pacific Association of Museums (ICOM ASPAC) were also held. In these elections, Sahar Tafreshi, Public Relations Officer of the Tehran Peace Museum, was elected as a member of the ICOM ASPAC Board of Directors for the three-year term 2025 to 2028.
The presence of a representative from Iran in this regional structure can play an important role in strengthening international interactions, raising issues and capacities of Iranian museums, and more effectively participating in regional and global programs.
ICOM Asia and the Pacific is the regional branch of the International Council of Museums, which aims to develop professional cooperation among countries in the region, promote museology standards, and support joint projects.
