In Kiev close museums

One billion wealth, which is stored in the local museum, left without protection. It was filmed on Thursday, October 1, with those safes, which are subject to KSCA, namely: Russian Art, which holds masterpieces Shishkin, Aivazovsky, Museum of Decorative Arts, Theater Museum, home of Gonchar, Tychyny, said Kiyan.

In general, 12 museums in Kiev left without protection. The reason is trivial: debts to the Office of civil service protection.

"Over 2008-2009, mayor underpaid us 3.7 million UAH. 11 museums are not paid since April, and another museum - since last year. We warned the mayor's office, which will take off the protection from 1 October, if we do not do at least some money. We're self-financing organization, we need to pay staff salaries, so we removed the protection from 12 museums ", - explained the spokesman GEO Natalia Vishnevskaya.

We note that municipal museums have not yet suffered only one - Bohdan and Varvara Khanenko that houses paintings by Velazquez and Rubens.

"We had anticipated this situation, therefore, drew up a contract with the state protection, that the basic calculations are made at the end of the year - said the deputy director Tatyana Listrova. - So we have problems ahead. "

In the remaining museums staff simply horrified. For example, for security reasons the Russian Museum in general, have decided to close for the visitors.

"Of course, we have various technical means, the alarm, but still we can not risk our foundation," - said museum director Yuri Vakulenko. According to him, they would have themselves to hire a guard, the more that private entrepreneurs are taking 15-18 UAH. per hour, while the State Guard - 45. But the rules.

"Cabinet instructed all museums, art galleries and historical and cultural reserves apply only to state protection", - informed Vakulenko. After all, under the guise of private security guard thief will be very easy to infiltrate the repository.

Other museums are not closed, but going to reduce the time and set the duty among the staff. When the situation is resolved, it is absolutely incomprehensible. Chapter Kyivrada Commission on Culture and Tourism Alexander Briginets promises to raise the issue at the session Kyivrada. At the City Hall not ready to say, when will the money. Departmental head of culture on vacation, and its curator - zammera Vitaly Zhuravskii initially refused to say anything, and then still said: "Museums are not left without protection, is currently being negotiated.
