They are also intended to foster professional ambition and serve as an encouragement to present the nation's culture in a progressive and interesting way. The Museum Awards are sponsored by the Icelandic chapter of ICOM and the Association of Icelandic Museums and Museum Professionals (F\u00cdSOS).<\/p>\n<p>The award is given to one museum that has been deemed to have excelled and to set an example. No distinction is made between types of museums, so all museums in the country are considered: history and folk museums, art museums, natural history museums, and other specialized museums.<\/p>\n<p>The Museum Awards were first presented in 2000. A selection committee, composed of representatives from the societies and a representative from the museum that last received the award, chooses from submitted ideas, but proposals are sought from the general public as well as from professionals. The recognition that comes with the award is an honor and an encouragement to the three nominated museums, not least to the museum that wins the award.<\/p>\n<h3>Award winners<\/h3>\n<p>2022: <a href=\"https:\/\/safnarad.is\/en\/frettir\/2022\/05\/althjodlegi-safnadagurinn-18-mai-og-islensku-safnaverdlaunin-afhent\/\">Akureyri Museum<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2020:<a href=\"https:\/\/safnarad.is\/en\/frettir\/2020\/05\/islensku-safnaverdlaunin-afhent-2020\/\"> National Museum of Iceland<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2018: Art Museum of \u00c1rness\u00fdsla<\/p>\n<p>2016: Skagfir\u00f0inga Museum of Local History<\/p>\n<p>2014: Sarps Operating Company<\/p>\n<p>2012: South East Iceland Museum, H\u00fasav\u00edk<\/p>\n<p>2010: The New Art Museum<\/p>\n<p>2008: Westfjords Museum in \u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur<\/p>\n<p>2006: Reykjavik Museum of History<\/p>\n<p>2003: National Museum of Iceland, Photo Department<\/p>\n<p>2002: Arnesingas Museum of Local History<\/p>\n<p>2001: Reykjavik Art Museum<\/p>\n<p>2000: The Herring Museum in Siglufj\u00f6r\u00f0ur<\/p>\n<p>More information can be found on the website. <a href=\"http:\/\/icom.is\/safnaverdlaunin\/\">ICOM<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Icelandic Museum Awards are presented every other year and are intended to highlight the good work being done at Icelandic museums.
