Museum workers are not allowed to broker or sell antiques.

The Code of Conduct consists of 3 chapters and 10 articles, applicable to cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers in the heritage sector nationwide. The content covers all conduct in professional work, relationships with colleagues, the community, in the media, social networks and in other social activities.

A notable point in the rules is the regulation that museum workers are not allowed to broker, directly or indirectly participate in the trading, transporting, or supporting the illegal transport of relics, antiquities, national treasures, and natural heritage.
