I am happy to see several ideas for the International Museums Day 2001 come forth in advance of the meeting in Paris in a few days. The following ideas have been launched on the ICOM-L: Rekdal: "Museums unlimited: International Museum Co-operation" Bernier: "Museums unlimited: Museum Co-operation" Wadum: "Understanding and Preserving the Past for the Future" Wechsler: "Museums: Building Community" MacAvity suggests mid-June instead of May 18. I am sure mid-June in some parts of the world is just as hopeless as May 18 in others. Let us have a theme that lasts for a year! Kind regards Per B.
