Georgia's Art Palace venue is one of 61 museums nominated for the 2020 European Museum of the Year Award, with the Tbilisi-based cultural institution shortlisted by the European Museum Forum.

 

The museum, set up in a palace built as a love present in the late 19th century, was picked for the nominee list that involves new or recently renovated venues, with the EMYA prize promoted as "the most prestigious museum award in Europe" by its organisers.

 

The 2020 prize has nominees ranging from the Hexenmuseum venue in Switzerland to V&A Dundee - "Scotland's first design museum" - and the Pentala Archipelago Museum in Finland.
