This article explores the role of international museum standards \u2014 particularly those developed by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) \u2014 within the broader framework of global administrative law. It examines the nature, objectives and regulatory effectiveness of voluntary instruments such as the ICOM Code of Ethics and the 2022 definition of \u201cmuseum\u201d, highlighting their normative influence despite their non-binding character. Through a comparative analysis of different experiences in several European countries \u2014 France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain and Germany \u2014 this article traces how these standards are received in national legal and administrative systems, with particular focus on accreditation schemes, institutional reforms, and museum organization.
