Andorra Grants €15,000 to Museu de la Miniatura in New Cultural Support Program

The Andorran government has approved a €15,000 grant to the Museu de la Miniatura in Ordino as part of a new programme supporting private cultural centres that manage collections of public interest and bolster the Principality's tourism appeal.

Initiated by the Culture, Youth and Sports Ministry, the scheme provides financial aid in its inaugural round to help these venues improve and maintain facilities, increase the visibility and promotion of their collections, develop activity programmes, and strengthen ties with the Taula de Museus. Officials emphasise that the funding seeks to position such spaces as prominent fixtures in Andorra's diverse cultural and tourist landscape.

Private centres like the Museu de la Miniatura have historically enriched the country's offerings with distinctive collections and public engagement initiatives. However, they often struggle with everyday expenses for upkeep, marketing, visitor services, and enhancing their draw for tourists. The government views this programme as essential to securing their long-term viability and amplifying their role in cultural dissemination.

The museum, known for its unique miniature art holdings, represents the first recipient under the new line of support, addressing ongoing operational pressures while reinforcing its contributions to Andorra's heritage.
