of Culture and Art (Ministerstwo Kultury I Sztuki)
Description
The mission statement of the Ministry of Culture and Art of the Republic of
Poland encompasses the cultural patrimony of Poland which, either through looting
or through border change, is no longer in Poland. In particular, the State
Secretary, at the time of writing Vice-Minister Aleksandra Jakubowska, is
responsible for the co-ordination and overseeing of legislation and is also
responsible for the realisation of projects which ensure the protection of
Polish cultural heritage abroad. The official website includes information on
the various departments of the Ministry, including those which deal with
"revindication" (a technical term concerning restitution) and also contains
useful links to various Polish museums, to their collections and State Archives.
