Abstract: The epoch-making changes that shook the former communist countries of central and eastern Europe have had profound repercussions on all aspects of cultural life and notably on museums. Accustomed to stable budgets and unqualified government support, they must now seek new means of survival in a society that is still in a state of flux. Istvan Gedai, Director of the Hungarian National Museum, describes their problems and sheds light on some of the deep-rooted questions posed by major social transformation.
