In 2021, in order to maintain the approved budget and because of lower revenue resulting from the pandemic measures, the National Museum reduced the financial limit not only for the maintenance of buildings, but also the maintenance of collections. To compare the reduced budget for the maintenance of collections, we state that in 2019 the costs for the maintenance of collections amounted to CZK 11,039,796.13.

Depreciation is a significant cost item of the National Museum.

Given the level of depreciation, we assume that the depreciation levy will continue to be relevant for the organisation and it cannot be ruled out that the National Museum will ask the founder to adjust the depreciation levy for 2023.
The National Museum tried to meet the approved budget with the utmost prudence. In particular, the service costs were higher, similar to previous years. The service costs cannot be predicted with accuracy, as these increased costs are mainly related to exhibition activities and the realization of new exhibits. The sums invested in the implementation of exhibitions and new expositions show positive results. Unfortunately, the epidemic situation in 2021 was not favourable, but we believe that in future years the income of the National Museum will reach the level of 2019.
