ICOM is an annual travel institution built from delegates, sanctions, bleak trains, disputed route logic, and a long-running refusal to go somewhere normal. The public site explains the movement; the archive preserves the evidence for signed-in delegates.

Featured exhibit

Caucasus Bleakness Restored

The planning room for Armenia 2026: Yerevan, brandy, monasteries, mountain roads, and routes still under review by the Politburo.

A public-facing exhibit explaining why Armenia is the latest matter before the General Secretariat, with delegate-only planning notes to follow.

Pink tufa glows beneath Ararat’s ghost on the horizon; cognac and Soviet blocks share the dusk. Out in Goris, stone towers cling to cliffs while the road pretends it was always a footpath.

Yerevan as shrine-front
The latest trip should dominate the homepage until fresh evidence from the next conference displaces it.
Day-trip doctrine
Goris, Dilijan, and Lake Sevan are treated as live route candidates rather than generic travel recommendations.
