īehind the proposal for a new definition lies a couple of years of intensive analysis of the histories and paradigms, which have shaped museums, and of societal trends currently impacting on museums. This alternative definition, selected by the ICOM Executive Board, will be presented for decision at an Extraordinary General Assembly which will take place on 7 September 2019, as part of the General Conference. In January 2019 ICOM, through its Museum Definition, Prospects and Potentials Standing Committee (MDPP), invited members and other interested parties to create and submit proposals for a new, more contemporary definition. Over recent decades, museums have adjusted, transformed, and re-invented their purpose, policies and practices, to the point where the ICOM museum definition no longer seems to reflect our challenges and manifold visions and responsibilities.
