The EMYA is an initiative of the European Museum Forum and has been around since 1977. Each year the prize is awarded to a European museum that shines with a unique innovative quality. The jury will make its final selection from a total of 21 candidates from countries across Europe at a prize ceremony in Tongeren in May. Librarium, located in the Royal Library of Belgium at Mont des Arts, is currently running an exhibition on Reynard the Fox and displaying a limited edition of Ulysses by James Joyce with engravings and drawings by Henri Matisse.
