The European Museum Academy is a volunteer society of museum experts from different national and cultural backgrounds, united for the advancement of knowledge in museology. The work of EMA is based on a curriculum of proved capacity in developing and managing innovative museum projects. Museums are a relevant tool to confront socio-economic and cultural challenges in contemporary society. The Academy subscribes to the role of the modern museum as a meeting place and a forum for the development of scientific debate, creativity, social cohesion and cultural dialogue.
EMA continues interviewing experts in their field. For our current issue we have been speaking to Wim van der Weiden, Board member and past Chairman of EMA about his career, experiences, role in EMA, the awards and advice to colleagues.
This is the fifth edition of the EMA European Museum Report. It is based on reports from the representatives of the Academy around Europe, who have simply been asked: ‘How were museums doing in 2022 and what is going on?’ The simplicity and the broadness of the question give freedom for the representatives to interpret as they wish.
