State museums and libraries are granted the right to provide paid cultural services in income-generating activities that align with their statutory objectives and scope of operations, as defined in an approved list. This also includes the sale of souvenirs (including printed materials) by budget-funded staff.
The list includes 19 paid services, such as the display, design, and arrangement of exhibitions and expositions; public display of museum objects, scientific-technical and auxiliary materials; conducting tours, including those using audio guides and virtual reality technologies; providing consultations and expert assessments for the attribution and valuation of objects of historical and cultural value (excluding items containing precious metals and stones). Also on the list are the production of copies from museum objects and documents from museum collections; selection, search, and issuance of documents; indexing; book repair and restoration; conducting classes in studios, interest clubs, and circles; organizing children's leisure activities in a playroom, and others.
These services are included in the list of goods (works, services) whose prices (tariffs) are regulated by state bodies (organizations) as necessary to stabilize the price situation, established by the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of February 4, 2025, No. 69 "On the Regulation of Prices (Tariffs)".
The document also regulates the distribution of corresponding funds for cultural organizations whose income from core activities in the previous financial year did not exceed 155 thousand base values (inclusive).
The main provisions of Resolution No. 580 will come into force on January 1, 2027.
