Website
As you can see, the Museum Council's website is back online after being hit by the collapse of the web hosting company in 1984. It seems that all the content has been saved and we are grateful for that, but if users find errors, they can definitely send a message to the email address thora@safnarad.is. The Museum Council's email was not affected as far as we know, and the collapse did not affect Museum Council application website.
Applications for lifelong learning grants
The application deadline for applications for continuing education grants to recognized museums expired on October 18. The Museum Council has reviewed the applications and sent its proposal to the Minister of Education, Science and Culture, who will allocate funds from the museum fund. It is expected that the results of the allocation will be announced by the end of the year at the latest.
