The first general assembly of the IAC was held in 1954 at the Ariana Museum in Geneva. That year, 14 participants from 14 countries attended.

Since then, biennial General Assemblies have helped build the spirit and the network of the Academy around the world.

Soon you will be able to explore the archive of past programs and conferences, and also see images of the exhibitions and events organized at the Assemblies.
