ISTAT: excellent results for museum and library surveys
ISTAT 2026 surveys of museums, similar institutions and libraries

Also this year, ISTAT surveys aimed at museums open to the public and to public reading, specialized and conservation libraries were able to count on the significant participation of cultural institutes and places in the compilation of questionnaires.

The data collected constitute a strategic resource for the elaboration of national and regional policies to support the cultural sector.
The surveys represent an opportunity to give visibility to the individual institutions that make up the rich landscape of Sardinia's cultural offer, with significant repercussions in terms of:

  • added value for the regional cultural sector and for the entire community;
  • knowledge of the specificities of cultural heritage and the strengthening of local identity;
  • analysis of the relationships between the socio-economic characteristics of the territories and the presence/consistency of places of culture in the same areas;
  • enhancement of the role of cultural institutions and places as a lever for the socio-economic development of the territory;
  • relationships between production and cultural enjoyment, land development and social and economic orientation to innovation and knowledge.

The surveys were carried out through collaboration between the Statistics Office of the Region of Sardinia and the Directorate General for Cultural Heritage, Information, Entertainment and Sport, as part of the National Statistical Program (PSN).

The findings generated significant response rates:

  • Libraries: out of 484 libraries in the region, the response rate is 100%.
  • Museums and similar institutions: out of 326 museums and similar institutions in the regional territory involved in the survey, the response rate is currently 91.27%.

How to consult the results of the survey
The data will be published on the ISTAT website at the end of the consolidation and statistical validation activities.
Libraries: the data collected are used to calculate indicators on the provision of cultural resources at the territorial level, integrate official statistics of sectoral interest and contribute to the population of various institutional databases. The data collected are disseminated in the form of microdata files, made accessible and accessible to all users directly on the ISTAT website. The results of the survey make it possible to update the Registry of Italian Libraries managed by the ICCU and the regional registry hosted on the SardegnaBiblioteche website.
