I Comitati Internazionali riuniscono esperti di varie specialità museali. I presidenti di ciascun Comitato Internazionale rappresentano lo stesso all’interno del Comitato Consultivo dell’ICOM. I 34 Comitati Internazionali sono gruppi di riflessione sui Musei e, più in generale, sul patrimonio culturale. Definiscono gli standard professionali dei Musei, condividono le informazioni scientifiche, stabiliscono collaborazioni con altre organizzazioni e sviluppano raccomandazioni per i membri ICOM.
