The Polish government has proposed amendments to the Care and Protection of Monuments Act, hoping to safeguard cultural heritage more effectively and align legal regulations with current market conditions.

Key Objectives

1. Closing the National Register of Lost Cultural Artefacts

Established in 2015, the National Register of Lost Cultural Artefacts was supposed to protect the rights of legitimate owners by preventing anyone else from laying claim to their stolen assets. Nearly a decade later, the register remains empty and is set to be shut down completely, which will involve repealing relevant provisions of the Care and Protection of Monuments Act, the Civil Code, and the Restitution of National Cultural Artefacts Act.
