History

The EMYA was founded in 1977 by British journalist Kenneth Hudson, British academic Richard Hoggart, and John Letts, under the auspices of the Council of Europe. [5] It is considered to be the most important award in its sector, [3] [6] being described by the Network of European Museums (NEMO) as "the longest-running and most prestigious museum awards in Europe". [4]

The Fonds de dotation de l’ICOM of the International Council of Museums supports the European Museum of the Year Award. [7]

This prestigious prize is awarded on the recommendations of the EMYA Judging Panel, by the Committee on Culture, Science and Education of the Council of Europe to a museum which puts particular emphasis on a clearly understandable presentation of a European perspective and of the interplay between local and European identities, working with themes of European relevance and adhering to key values and priorities of democracy, human rights, tolerance and intercultural dialogue, of bridging cultures and overcoming social and political borders.

European Museum Forum, (2019). [12]
