The administrative status of museum exhibits in the Spanish legal systemThe paper deals with the administrative status of museum exhibits in the Spanish legal system. The assumptions of the Spanish Historical Heritage Act of 1985, which regulates the status of BIC (bienes de interés cultural) cultural property (both movable and immovable) and various levels of protection depending on the category, were presented. The procedure of granting BIC status and the systems for cataloguing cultural property were also discussed. The system of protection of cultural property in Spain is highly decentralized, which also applies to the functioning of museums. The Spanish Autonomous Communities have extensive regional legislation regulating the above-mentioned issues. The article analyses regional regulations in this area based on the example of the autonomous community of Catalonia – on the basis of statutory regulations in the field of culture and cultural heritage and the Catalan Historical Heritage Act of 1993. This allowed for a comprehensive presentation of the complexity of the system of cultural property protection in Spain (at the state and regional level) and prompted reflection on the legitimacy and effectiveness of decentralized solutions in this area.
