The ICOM Code of Ethics for Museums sets professional standards and encourages the recognition of values shared by the international museum community.

This reference tool provides guidance and is presented as a series of principles supported by guidelines detailing expected professional practice. It was drafted in a cross-cutting manner and conceived as an instrument of professional self-control. ICOM members must accept and comply with the Code’s rules.

Former ICOFOM Chair, Professor Karen Brown, recently visited the and Historical Society, a key site of cultural memory, heritage, and community life on the island.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl (July 2024), Carriacou faced devastating loss. Homes were destroyed, communities disrupted-and the island’s only museum, a guardian of history, memory, and identity, was severely damaged.

Now, there is an urgent and inspiring effort to rebuild, not just what was lost, but something stronger, more resilient, and future-facing.
