The International Association of Agricultural Museums (https://www.agriculturalmuseums.org/) is a forum for organisations dedicated to promoting interest in the impact of agriculture on human society through the ages. AIMA began in Prague in 1966. Its purpose is to educate the public about the significance of agriculture to human society, to explain the many ways that agriculture has evolved through time, and to facilitate dialogue between museums across the globe about agricultural topics and discoveries. The AIMA is an affiliate of the International Council of Museums as laid out in our statutes, and we have adopted their ethical code. The association is governed by the Executive Committee, which is elected for a three year term by the AIMA membership at the General Assembly, which takes place at the triennial congress (CIMA). AIMA has also instituted a number of working groups, to look at various aspects of agriculture and agricultural museums.
The Congress of International Agricultural Museums (CIMA) takes place normally every three years at different venues, and is an important event in the AIMA calendar.
