Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the evolution of the legal framework of the Polish art and antiquities market for the years 1989-2015. It presents and substantiates the main legislative problems and the possible ways of developing the Polish art and antiquities market. In the early period of the Polish art market specific rules and regulations were virtually non-existent. The market has evolved since then and new problems, like VAT on art sales, cultural goods authenticity assessment and the illegal art trade, have emerged along with new market stakeholders.
