Резюме:

The article seeks to compare the effects of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related lockdowns across the museums in Central and Eastern Europe. Although studies and research were conducted on the closure of museums European-wide by many European agencies and associations, they are mostly occupied with the negative results on the socialization of the cultural heritage rather than the budgetary effects on museums. Measuring the economic effect would better serve budgetary planning related to funding from the European Union, national and regional sources. The effect of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) on the budgets of museums is sought to be estimated based on their lockdown period, the total lack of visitors during that time and the respective loss of entry fees. However, additional remarks on socialization are being presented by comparing the digital activity of selected national museums in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Poland.
