"Museums for Social Harmony".
This year's theme is "Museums for Social Harmony", which ICOM officials say is an invitation for museums to open doors to plurality.
The activities that we have planned at MARQ aim to show the great variety of cultures that have shaped our history, as well as the various temporary exhibitions that have been presented at MARQ as a reflection of this plurality.
