Many museums are now foundations. ERM is still a state museum. Now it is being considered that ERM will get a new status.
The new status will give ERM more freedom. According to the new status, the museum will operate under the law.
The director of ERM says that the museum wants a new status. This will give the museum more importance.
ERM displays and preserves items. The museum also conducts research. The new status will help ERM do more.
Currently, they are looking into what else ERM could do. For example, whether the Ennistuskoda Kanut should belong to ERM.
By the end of January, it will become clear what will happen with ERM. The Riigikogu must make a decision.
The government wants to finish the transformation of museums by 2027. The Riigikogu should initiate this matter in the spring.
