The minister of culture (Faroese: "landsstýrismaðurin í mentamálum" or "mentamálaráðharrin") is a member of the government of the Faroe Islands and head of the Ministry of Education, Research and Culture (Faroese: Mentamálaráðið). The ministry changed its name in 2002 from "Ministry of Education and Culture" and before 1998 cultural affairs did not have its own ministry but were together with other affairs a part of a ministry.
