Denmark's Den Gamle By (National Open-Air Museum of Urban History and Culture) is celebrating after winning the coveted European Museum of the Year Award. The Aarhus based arts centre collected the title on Saturday night at the EMYA award's ceremony in Bilbao, Spain.
Presenting the prize, EMYA's co-chair and jury member Daniëlle Kuijten described Den Gamle By as "a pioneering institution that brings together historical and contemporary urban environments to address urgent contemporary questions, including migration, sustainability and social justice."
