Visit of ICOM pavillon with Julien Enfruns

ICOM Pavilion

The architecture agency Exhibit Works Inc. has designed a “museum” experience for visitors to appreciate and learn about ICOM and what ICOM does. The clean, simple, modern museum-like architecture with its modernized image has well planned functions. The front circular space can be set up as a featured exhibit area and can also be converted to an activity area.

At the back, a video wall will create a sensational experience of a modern museum environment. Visitors can appreciate the exhibit from both outside and inside the pavilion, and they can access the exhibit in and out easily with all the openings on all sides. The VIP lounge will provide a comfortable environment for ICOM members, journalists and partners.

The theme for the ICOM booth (‘Better City, Better Life’) will be explored throughout exhibitions and events during the six months of the Expo:

 

  • A permanent exhibition on ICOM and its missions.
  • Six temporary exhibitions that will highlight a continent with five topics: Museum and Society, Museums and the Environment, Museums and Culture, Museums, Economy and Innovation.
  • At the beginning of each month a museum will be presented, highlighting a region of the world.

 

ICOM will be under the spotlight on May 18, 2010 on the occasion of International Museum Day.
