“In the annual programme of the EMA, the International Summer School of Museology has over the years become a point of reference for two main reasons: first, it covers with continuity a geo-cultural part of Europe (the Slav countries) essential for a comprehensive view of the European panorama of museums’ development, secondly, it fits very well with the other professional training activities of the Academy, especially with the Master Course of European Museology carried out by the IULM University of Milan under the auspices of the EMA.”
Massimo Negri, Scientific Director of EMA

“The perfect museum has to be in the right place, on an agreeable site, easily reached by both public and private transport. Whatever its size, it would need to occupy a distinguished building, beautiful in itself, convenient and practical to work in, and capable of providing and encouraging a satisfying atmosphere for its visitors.”
