A 2026-os költségvetés-elemzésből
Small municipal museums, funded nationally — but does the nation know they exist?
1.2 billion Ft funds municipal-level museum institutions through a central formula grant — the same discretionary cultural allocation pattern as the county-scope museums, scaled down but structurally identical.
About 310 Ft per taxpayer per year — 1.2 billion Ft total — allocated by central formula to municipal museum institutions, with no price signal revealing whether local residents value them at that cost.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: small municipal museums open and maintained. The unseen: the local signal — attendance, donations, volunteer effort — that would tell the municipality whether residents value the institution enough to fund it locally, replaced by a national formula grant.
Ellenvetés
"Small local museums can't survive on ticket sales — they'd all close without national support."
Válasz
A community that genuinely values its local museum can fund it from local resources — admission, membership, town sponsorship, or locally-accountable municipal budget allocation. A central formula grant that substitutes for that local decision prevents the community from ever making the choice. The five-year phase-out with a heritage-collection carve-out separates the irreplaceable from the institutionally convenient.
Share if you think local museums' survival should depend on local support, not a national formula.

Indoklás
Funds municipal-level museum institutions below the county-scope tier. The analysis is identical to Cím 2.4.1: discretionary cultural allocation, no price signal, no external aggregator of the optimal scale. Phased out over five years on the same mechanism, with the same narrow heritage-preservation carve-out for collections of genuine national significance.
Átállási mechanizmus
Linear five-year reduction to zero; museums build mixed-revenue models; heritage-significant collections protected by a separate narrow provision.
Érintett csoportok
Municipal museum institutions and their staff; local museum visitors.
