The museums stand out for their innovation and role models for other European museums.
Marlen Mouliou, chairman of the EMYA 2021 Jury, called the renovation of the Haapsalu Castle a model for the preservation of the monument, an example of 21st-century restoration work, with absolute respect for the historic building and ingenious modern design. She emphasized that Haapsalu can be considered a destination for enjoying history and culture.
