Join the leadership of the ICOM International Committee on Ethical Dilemmas (IC Ethics) and help shape ethical conversations and practices across the global museum community. IC Ethics is one of ICOM’s 35 International Committees, serving as a space for professionals to reflect on real-world ethical dilemmas in museum work. The committee does not pass judgment but fosters open dialogue, the sharing of experiences, and the promotion of good ethical practices.
