Foreword With this publication, the Institut für Museumskunde publishes results of a European Working Group which first met 1995 and since then is engaged in collecting and exchanging museum-related data from all over Europe. The group includes representatives of those institutions which are responsible for producing the statistics in their countries as well as policy makers from related ministries. This publication would not have been possible without the engagement of representatives from 23 European countries and we would like to thank all our colleagues for their work. For us, bringing closer the existing wide range of available statistical information on museums in Europe is one of our aims, we therefore have been and still are organising the annual autumn meetings in Berlin. Special thanks go to the Ministry of Culture in Luxemburg, which generously funded the second annual conference of the group, usually held in June in Luxemburg. We know that herewith, we can present only a snap-shot of work in progress which in some cases will be already outdated as soon as the publication is available. However, the EGMUS group is permanently updating the information and a new version is planned for 2007. This present publication will be online available on the website of the Institut für Museumskunde www.smb.spk-berlin.de/ifm and on the website of EGMUS (www.egmus.net).
