In the National Cultural Institutions, access to the National Collections remains free of charge for all visitors. Occasional additional exhibitions of a temporary of special nature require a fee to cover the costs of preparation and presentation. The application of charges in these cases is a matter for the Board and management of the relevant National Cultural Institution.
In the wider context, the great majority of cultural venues and events operate on a commercial basis and are independently managed. Decisions in relation to charges are a matter for the management and operators of the venues and events in question.
