The Canadian Federation of Friends of Museums (CFFM) is pleased to announce that Dr. Patricia Kell will be the Carol Sprachman Lecturer on November 14, 2024 at historic Maison Forget in Montreal, Quebec. Dr. Kell's timely topic will focus on "Heritage Preservation: A Conservation Movement for the 21st Century”.

Supported by eight Federations, the second European Day of Friends of Museums will take place on Sunday October 13, 2024, and will be celebrated under the common theme that Members have chosen: “Your museums, our passion!”

Friends of Museums shall emphasize that museums are there to be enjoyed by all, that we have a shared responsibility for their preservation and promotion and that the museums are important as spaces of encounter and cultural enrichment for all.

The event would include over a thousand friends of museum associations all over Europe participating on this special day. Each group includes passionate individuals who want to share and spread their enthusiasm and act as ambassadors. Friends support their museums in acquisitions, financing exhibitions and conservation projects, and taking on important tasks in cultural and social education.

Topics to be addressed include : critical visitorship, hacking the museum, creativity and constraints, reflexivity, and limits of Curatorial Dreaming. 

On Sunday 8 October 2023, the Italian Federation of Friends of Museum celebrates the 2nd European Day of Friends of Museums which is in continuity with the long tradition of the FIDAM National Day. Unlike the European Day, which has a free theme, the Italian edition identifies a specific subject, which this year is "Portrayed landscape-lived landscape".
