    Legal contexts

    Anyone dealing in, acquiring, buying or borrowing items of cultural property has a duty to maintain a working knowledge of relevant legal issues. This applies to all cultural heritage organisations, collectors, dealers and auction houses. Sufficient knowledge is required so that organisations and individuals act within the law, are able to understand the legal implications, and can assess when expert advice is needed. Here you can find links to information on relevant legislation.
