Economic value of a local museum

2004

Abstract The aim of this paper is to determine the economic value of a local cultural history museum, namely, the Museum of Central Finland in Jyvaskyla. This study also seeks to clarify what factors affect the willingness-to-pay for the Museum. Data were gathered from a sample of Jyvaskyla residents aged 18 and over via a postal questionnaire in November and December 1997. The results indicate that in reality, Jyvaskyla residents contribute less in taxes to the Museum than they report that they are willing to pay. This indicates that at least the present amount of tax revenue can justifiably be directed to the Museum. Maintenance of the Museum can thus be legitimised on the basis of the pu…
