Summary/Abstract: The mechanism of co-management of cultural institutions by the Ministry of Culture and local government units has been functioning in the Polish practice since 2005–2006. Since 2015, the Prawo i Sprawiedliwość government has taken steps to double the number of co-management institutions up to 66 entities by the end of 2019. The cultural milieu generally welcomes these actions, seeing them as an opportunity to improve the budget of cultural institutions. However, when evaluating this process from a national perspective, as well as considering its political consequences, one can also notice certain threats resulting from the expansion of the co-management system. The perspective of the last 15 years shows that the issue is associated with many problems characteristic for contemporary Poland.
