Free movement of collections : the effects of a modified indemnity scheme on costs associated with short- and long-term loans of cultural property

The Indemnity for Loans Subsidy Scheme was set up in the Netherlands to enable museums to apply for indemnity or compensation for temporary exhibitions in order to limit the costs of their organisation. Since the Directorate of Cultural Heritage at the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (abbreviated to OCW in Dutch) had been picking up signals from the museum community that the scheme was not as effective as it could be, it commissioned a study to determine how the scheme has functioned in recent years, how the Dutch scheme compares to similar schemes in other countries, and what improvements could be made.
