National Institute for Museums i Polen har utviklet anbefalinger for hvordan forberede seg for krig og krise i museene. Anbefalingene er utviklet utfra en analyse av gjeldende lovbestemmelser og langvarig praksis i krisehåndtering ved National Institute for Museums samt Ukrainske kuratorers erfaringer fra den pågående krigen i Ukraina.
