The establishment of ENoRM

The initiative was launched in 2014 from the National Maritime Museum in Gdańsk, Poland. Proposal for cooperation letter was sent to the about 40 European large and small river museums:
“….Following good example of maritime museums, which work closely together within the International Congress of Maritime Museums, we would like to propose the establishment of closer cooperation and attempt to create an European network of river museums. This will significantly facilitate the establishment of contacts between museums with a similar profile and broaden our collective actions, which are often still rather limited….”
Dr Jerzy Litwin, director of the National Maritime Museum in Gdańsk
