The European Museum Academy brings together museology experts with the aim of promoting museology research and museography as important cultural endeavors.
By offering activities, lectures, courses and awards the community hopes to connect museum workers and experts, allowing them to exchange ideas and museum concepts.
The prizes given by the EMA Foundation are divided into a few categories (EMA Award, Luigi Micheletti and DASA Award), with each being given to museums or museum organizations whose work reflects exceptional quality.
