Summary

The main purpose of the bill is to increase the quality of museum collections and museum services, to specify the basis of museum funding and to create a new folk culture database belonging to the state information system. The change emphasizes the broader social role of museums and the need to consider the needs of users throughout their life span when providing services. According to the bill, the principles of excluding museums from the museum collection will be simplified, for example in the future it will be decided of this exclusion the museum itself, not the founder of the museum. Also, the circle of institutions and persons to whom items excluded from the museum collection belonging to the state can be transferred will be expanded - in the future, in addition to cultural heritage institutions, also institutions that act in the public interest. When funding museums, criteria are specified, for example, museums operating as state foundations receive operating support to fulfill their statutory goals, in others those operating in ownership forms may continue to apply for support. It is also planned to create a new database, which will contain information about organizations dealing with folk culture, collectives, instructors and folk and culture houses or facilities related to them. The database will be created to replace the registry of the Estonian Song and Dance Festival Foundation and the sectoral folk culture database of the Estonian Folk Culture Center. It will be managed by the Estonian Folk Culture Center.
