ABSTRACT
The efficiency of cultural services is the common subject of certain studies as the cultural services belong to the public sector and are connected to the public finance. The aim of the study is to identify, using the data envelopment analysis, the efficiency of cultural services in museums at self-government level in Slovakia. Research outcomes show that only two Slovak self-government levels are efficient. The rest six Slovak self-government levels are inefficient; therefore, this study suggests decreasing number of museums and expositions and to increase number of visitors and cultural education activities. On the other hand, this study maps the alternative options how the inefficient self-government levels can be efficient.
Key words: Efficiency. Museums. Expositions. Visitors. Cultural education activities.
