TY - JOUR TI - Legal Possibilities Affecting the Termination of Museums’ Activities AU - Gwardzińska-Chowaniec, Żaneta TI - Legal Possibilities Affecting the Termination of Museums’ Activities AB - This article focuses on legal aspects related to the termination of museum-related activities by their organizers or founders. The aim is to consider the diversity of museums and their activities on the basis of generally applicable regulations, in particular the Act of 21 November 1996 on museums (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 720 and 1669) and the Act of 28 February 2003 on bankruptcy (Journal of Laws of 2017, item 2344, as amended). The termination of the legal entity’s activity is often related to the lack of funds for further operations (i.e., bankruptcy). Therefore, the article analyzes applicable legal provisions regarding the liquidation and bankruptcy of museums in the creative sector enterprises. The entirety of the analysis is influenced by the conclusions de lege ferenda and de lege lata, which were formulated on the basis of the author’s own observations.  VL - 2019 IS - 1/2019 (5) PY - 2019 SN - 2391-7997 C1 - 2450-050X SP - 97 EP - 116 DO - 10.4467/2450050XSNR.19.005.10806 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/saaclr/article/sposoby-prawne-zakonczenia-dzialalnosci-muzeum KW - museum KW - bankruptcy KW - liquidation KW - insolvency KW - museum objects
