Museums getting EU funding for reconstruction

More than two dozen museums from around Czechia have filed applications for EU grants for reconstruction. Some of them have been waiting for over a decade to implement renovation and reconstruction plans. The Ministry for Regional Development has called for them to present their projects, saying it can now access up to one billion crowns in EU funds for reconstruction. Czechia has over 400 museums and galleries. Many have been badly hit by the slump in visitor numbers during the Covid pandemic.
