Membership is open both to individuals and institutions working in the cultural field.
ICOM offers a number of benefits to its individual and institutional members. ICOM's structure is based on National Committees . All persons or institutions wishing to apply for membership, should contact the ICOM National Committee in their country of residence, if such a committee has been established. In case there is no National Committee in a State, one should apply for membership to the Membership Service of the ICOM Secretariat in Paris. Application forms can be obtained either from the National Committees or from the Membership Service of the ICOM Secretariat.
