In 2007, approximately 20,000 museums in more than 70 countries participated in the 30th International Museum Day with activities, partnerships and events connected to "Museums & Universal Heritage." This year, to better express changes in society and virtual evolution, ICOM is inviting the world museum community in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, North America, Latin America, and Europe to create activities in their museums based on the theme of social change and development.

In recognition of International Museum Day, The Bass Museum of Art will offer two for one admission to VOOM Portraits Robert Wilson and Splendor in the Bass: The Portraits on Sunday, May 18 that is an exciting opportunity to see cutting edge video portraiture juxtaposed with old master paintings from the Bass Museum’s permanent collection. This unique installation provides ample opportunity for compelling comparisons of the history of portraiture in the Western world. In addition to two for one admission, visitors who sign up for membership on May 18th will receive one free additional month for free.

All works from VOOM Portraits: Robert Wilson are commission and produced by VOOM HD Networks..
