Ministry of Culture and National Heritage
The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (Ministerstwo Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego) is a Polish government ministry that oversees cultural policy and serves as the State Treasury representative for Poland’s public media entities. According to official statements, the ministry represents the State Treasury as the 100 percent shareholder of public broadcasters including Telewizja Polska S.A., regional public radio stations, and the Polish Press Agency. In December 2023, Minister Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz initiated restructuring of public media organizations, leading to their placement in liquidation status. The ministry’s oversight extends to cultural institutions, heritage preservation, and state-owned media companies throughout Poland.
