MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the International Center of Medieval Art is to promote and support the study, understanding, and preservation of visual and material cultures produced primarily between ca. 300 CE and ca. 1500 CE in every corner of the medieval world. To this end the ICMA facilitates scholarship and education and sponsors public lectures, conferences, publications, and exhibitions.

HISTORY OF THE ICMA
The Centre internationale d’études romanes (International Center of Romanesque Studies) was founded in 1952 in Tournus, France by a group of medieval art historians and enthusiastic collectors. By 1956, after a brief relocation to Poitiers and then to the Pavillon de Marsan at the Louvre, the U.S. branch of the French organization was formed and headquartered at the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, where it became the sole organization. This American organization was eventually expanded to become the International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA). In 1969, the ICMA was moved to its present home at The Met Cloisters, the branch museum of The Metropolitan Museum of Art dedicated to the art and architecture of medieval Europe.

ANTI-HARASSMENT POLICY
The International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA) is an international and inclusive society that values the diversity of its membership. We do not condone the ideological misappropriation of medieval sources or scholarship in Medieval Studies. We will not tolerate bullying, threatening, belittling, or harassing behavior towards others, especially untenured colleagues, contingent faculty, independent scholars, and students, who are the most professionally vulnerable members of our community. We advocate for ethical standards of civil exchange, tolerance, and respect that affirm every scholar’s right to practice in an intellectual environment that encourages pluralism and a global approach. We denounce racism, religious bias, gender bias, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of personal discrimination. We welcome a variety of scholarly ideas and opinions expressed according to high standards of mutual respect and professional conduct.
