Momentum has been rising unabated ever since. Last year, International Museum Day garnered record-breaking participation with almost 32,000 museums hosting events in more than 129 countries. This year, the theme of the International Museum Day will be “Museums (memory + creativity) = social change.” Follow GTP Headlines on Google News to keep up to date with all the latest on tourism and travel in Greece.
