Early this week, the International Museum Day was observed at the Manial Palace on Roda Island, with musicologists from across the country. The message of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) proved pertinent: "we are all responsible for universal heritage". At the event, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities Zahi Hawass stressed the importance of museums in raising awareness of heritage and teaching a sense of individual and collective responsibility towards cultural heritage around the world. Former museum heads who were honoured for their devotion to the cause included Ahmed Nawwar, Ali Hassan and Mohamed Saleh.
