May is Museum Month 2021 provides an opportunity to emphasize how museums connect Ontario, especially during these times of physical distancing, and coincides with International Museum Day on May 18th, an initiative of the International Council of Museums (ICOM). 

 
We want to highlight all the ways that museums are evolving to meet the challenges of today and emerge stronger for the future.
