DUBAI: The ICOM Dubai 2025 Organising Committee handed over the ICOM flag to the city of Rotterdam, Netherlands, which will host the 28th General Conference of the International Council of Museums (ICOM 2028).

ICOM Dubai flag handed over to Rotterdam

The handover took place during the closing ceremony of the 27th General Conference of ICOM Dubai 2025, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai. This marked the first time the conference was hosted in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia.

The flag design draws inspiration from the intricate embroidery and artistry of the traditional Al Talli craft, reflecting local cultural identity, the nation's deep connection to its intangible heritage, and its commitment to preserving this legacy for future generations.
