Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the legal regime of museums searches for solutions to a number of issues, such as whether museums should be qualified as legal objects or as legal subjects. The latter prevails because our national legislator has recognized museums as a type of legal subject – legal entities (persons). The author scrutinizes museums' features as legal entities by clarifying their legal status and specifics in terms of the various general classifications of legal persons. In addition, some of the more important special classifications of museums as a particular kind of legal entity are considered.
