Describe the main features of the policy/measure: 

In 2017-2019, the Ministry of Education and Culture published three calls for museums for covering the costs of artists' exhibition compensation. The calls were used to test a new form of subsidy (i.e. specific grant), which would be aimed at promoting good contractual and compensation practices as recommended in the review of a Ministry-established working group on the subject (2016).

What are the results achieved so far through the implementation of the policy/measure?: 

The results of the calls for submission of applications were as follows:
* In 2017, 22 museums applied for a total of EUR 124,575 in subsidies. A total of EUR 102,015 was granted to 21 museums.
* In 2018, 33 museums applied for EUR 261,513 in total. All 33 applicants received EUR 249,150 in total.
* In 2019, 52 museums applied for a total of EUR 484,150. In total, all applicants received EUR 307,450.
