Ciprian Ștefan, directorul muzeului Astra, despre legea salarizării: 4.900 de lei, salariu la 20 de ani experiență? Se "îngroapă" muzeele

Ciprian Ștefan, director of the ASTRA National Museum Complex, warns that the proposed salary law could severely impact Romanian museums and hinder career prospects for young professionals in heritage. He highlights that nearly 5,000 people work in museums, representing a small financial effort compared to the total number of public employees. The majority of museum staff were born between 1975 and 1985, and there is a lack of motivation for younger generations to join the field. Despite recent funding for restoration projects, employee conditions remain poor, with low salaries and outdated equipment.
