GPO Witness History has won the Micheletti Award 2017 from the European Museum Academy at the Awards Ceremony in Skopje, Macedonia.  The Luigi Micheletti Award is the European prize for innovative museums in the world of contemporary history, industry and science. It is one of the leading activities of the Luigi Micheletti Foundation.

The judges said : The Centre is a perfect example of 20th century history in retrospect, dealing in an even-handed way with a very emotive subject, which would have been impossible even a decade ago. It is an extraordinary achievement, an historical challenge with has been transformed into a reconciliation centre which also poses questions for the future. Our warmest congratulations go to the whole team.

Kavanagh Tuite send their congratulations to Mark Leslie and all at Martello Media.
