Visiting museums may soon become unaffordable for some Latvians The cost of tickets to cultural institutions is approaching a dangerous limit, said the director of the Latvian National Museum of Art, Ivota Drakusova. According to her, museums have recently raised ticket prices to cover operating costs. However, this did not produce satisfactory results - the institutions still suffer from a lack of funding. Further increases in ticket prices will harm the company. Already, many Latvians go to museums only on free days, as they cannot afford to buy full-price tickets. Dracosova stressed that culture should remain accessible to all people.
