The European Museum of the Year Award (EMYA) and the Council of Europe Museum Prize were launched in 1977, by the European Museum Forum – founded by Kenneth Hudson, under the auspices of the Council of Europe. Since then - and in collaboration with other international organizations, such as ICOM, NEMO and the Best in Heritage – the award scheme aims to recognize excellence in European museums and to encourage innovative processes for the benefit of society.

Numerous participants come together every year from across all of Europe, meeting to discuss points of view, themes and issues that affect museums. During the EMYA ceremony, the European Museum Forum offers workshops, panels, interviews with museums candidates and a range of social gatherings and informal exchange with experts who explore what matters in museums today.

​

An extraordinary experience that gives a brilliant overview on the European museum scene!
