Estonian Museum Association

Estonian Museum Association was established in 1988 to acknowledge and value the work of professionals preserving and protecting cultural heritage at museums. Members of the association are museum employees making their daily living at public and private museums or museums administered by legal persons in public law.

In order to improve the professional competency of its membership, Estonian Museum Association is regularly organising seminars and excursions. In addition, a series of educational publications help museum employees in the accomplishment of specific tasks. The publication “Museum”, which started appearing in 1991, has now evolved into a professional magazine.

Starting from 1998, Estonian Museum Association has been organising an exhibition festival together with Narva City Government and Narva Museum to promote the entrance of innovative and interesting exhibitions to the sphere of interest of colleagues and the public by way of professional competition.
