The 2014 European Museum of the Year Award goes to the Museum of Innocence, Istanbul, Turkey. The European Museum Forum presented three further awards and five special commendations to museums demonstrating excellence and innovation in delivering public quality.

The European Museum of the Year Award (EMYA) organised by the European Museum Forum (EMF), has been presented this year for the 37th time, with the 2014 Award Ceremony hosted by the Art Museum of Estonia in Tallinn.

The Silletto Prize 2014 goes to the Saurer Museum, Arbon, Switzerland

The Silletto Prize, which is awarded to a museum for its work with the local community and the involvement of volunteers, has been won this year by the Saurer Museum. 

The Saurer truck company was a major employer in Arbon until its closure in 1987. Over 6,000 people lost their jobs, an immense blow to the pride, economy and morale of the community.

The Saurer Oldtimers Club began to collect and restore Saurer vehicles, and has created a museum with high professional standards entirely through voluntary effort.
