Summary/Abstract: The article is related to the public culture institutions management in Krakow. It presents the dynamics of changes in their fi nancing from public budget, human resources, material and immaterial profi ts of its activity. The main thesis is that the problem of culture institutions in the public sector is not the lack of money, but rather the way of distributing it. The system of culture institutions management is not compatible with the reality of XXI century and the needs of the contemporary recipient. The perspective of yearly budget is too short to build long-term plans, the degraded infrastructure of culture can’t rival modern shopping districts. A very imperfect system of cultural education is the main reason why people are not used to participating in cultural events and they do not have suffi cient competence to be able to perceive art.
