Abstract

The regional public galleries in the Czech Republic belong to the most important and the biggest institutions of their kind. The article deals with the assessment of the technical and allocation efficiency of 19 regional public galleries for the period between 2011 and 2015 from the perspective of the static as well as the dynamic efficiency. For the estimation of the efficiency according to the specific inputs and outputs, the Data Envelopment Analysis model and the Malmquist Index were used. In 2015, four galleries were fully technically efficient, and the average efficiency of the set being assessed was 70%. In 2015, in comparison with 2011, 11 public galleries improved their productivity. In 2015, seven galleries reached the full allocation efficiency, and the average efficiency was 90%. In 2015, in comparison with 2011, 12 public galleries improved their efficiency.
