Abstract

Since at least the 1990s, museums have expanded to cover a variety of societal functions, often enabling inclusive and participatory spaces for critical dialogue about the past and the future, and bridging together various narratives and cultural experiences, contributing to social cohesion and reconciliation. The new functions of museums, involving novel technological forms of display and communication, pose several legal questions concerning the management of such institutions, their resources, and exhibitions, including issues of copyright and other intellectual property rights. While referring to a recent case concerning an alleged infringement of the moral rights of the authors of the permanent exhibition of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk (MWII), this article examines the scope of copyright protection in new, so-called, “narrative” museums under Polish law. First it briefly scrutinizes main facts and circumstances of this case. Secondly, it discusses the current legal framework on the copyright protection of museum exhibitions under Polish law. Next, in light of the judgment rendered in the MWII case, the standard of legal protection of moral interests resulting from a museum exhibition’s design and its scenario (script) is explored. Finally, the article concludes with a set of observations concerning the extent to which copyright law may serve as a tool for protecting the integrity of museum exhibitions and their original conceptual design.
“叙事博物馆”与策展人的权利——波兰法律对博物馆展览及其场景的保护
至少自20世纪90年代以来,博物馆已经扩大到涵盖各种社会功能,通常为关于过去和未来的批判性对话提供包容和参与的空间,并将各种叙事和文化经历联系在一起,有助于社会凝聚力和和解。博物馆的新功能涉及新的展示和交流技术形式,在管理这些机构、资源和展览方面提出了一些法律问题,包括版权和其他知识产权问题。在提到最近一起涉嫌侵犯格但斯克第二次世界大战博物馆(MWII)永久展览作者道德权利的案件时,本文探讨了波兰法律下新的所谓“叙事”博物馆的版权保护范围。首先,它简要审查了本案的主要事实和情况。其次,讨论了波兰法律对博物馆展览版权保护的现行法律框架。接下来,结合MWII案的判决,探讨博物馆展览设计及其场景(脚本)所产生的道德利益的法律保护标准。最后,文章就版权法在多大程度上可以作为保护博物馆展览及其原始概念设计完整性的工具提出了一系列意见。
