The discussed issue relates to one of thelegal aspects of the operations of open-air museums,namely them running agricultural activity. The specificityof this group of museums and their character makethem not only museums in the understanding of the Acton Museums of 21 November 1996, but also farms towhich regulations of broadly conceived agricultural lawapply. What is more, the animals raised at museumsrequire regular veterinary care, and its provision shouldbe secured by the institutions’ directors. These are allquestions that do not stem directly from the Act onMuseums, hence, among others, numerous problemsfaced by museum curators.The paper is accompanied by tables and diagrams containingthe results of a survey conducted by the Authoramong curators from open-air museums meant to displaythe legal challenges they have to face on a daily basisin their works. The paper constitutes a pioneer study ofthese problems, since they have not as yet been analysedin Polish literature.
