Cultural heritage governance development in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
ENThe article revises the cultural heritage governance systems in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Given that they have deployed the same models during their Soviet past and that they started similar reforms in the sector after re-gaining their independence, a comparative analysis using general museum data is made in order to establish whether they develop similarly since then. Based on the presented statistics, the Estonian cultural heritage sector is dominating its Latvian and Lithuanian counterparts in terms of investments in museums, their curatorial activities and in terms of the cultural participation of the population in the form of museum visits. Additionally, Lithuania manages to ensure higher number of museum attendance than Latvia, but fails to ensure higher output of the professional museum work in areas such as publications and educational programmes. Keywords: cultural heritage, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania.
