ICME,
the International Committee for Museums of Ethnography, is one of thirty-two
international committees in ICOM, the International Council of Museums. With individual
and institutional members worldwide, ICME deals with museums of many
names: museums of ethnography, ethnology, anthropology, folk museums, popular
culture museums, völkerkunde- and volkskunde museums. What these museums
usually have in common is that they are about whole societies or cultures and
their objects, rather than solely a specific class of objects.


Looking forward to meeting you in
Namibia.


Sincerely Yours


 
Annette B. Fromm, Ph.D.
President, International Committee of Museums of Ethnography
