Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the subject of intra-institutional censorship; that is, with cases restricting the freedom of artistic expression through the decisions of managing bodies in cultural institutions. The aim of this study is to draw attention to the problem of determining the actual scope of freedom of artistic creation through intra-institutional practice. It presents examples of such limitations as well as the basic legal and practical problems connected with them.
