SamenvattingCulture can create understanding between diverse groups in society. This is emphasised by the discussion around ICOM’s new definition of the word ‘museum’, which shows that the role of museums, and consequently the use of collections, is changing. Lending objects between museums is an obvious route to reach a larger and different audience. Worldwide museum associations try to remove obstacles to loans between trusted partners. Loans to non-museum organisations face risks associated with non-professional partners who offer little basis for trust. This paper describes a decision-making model for museum and non-museum loans founded on the principles of value management and added value. It discusses how the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands applies the model and introduces a number of tools to facilitate decision-making. Experience shows that non-museum loans are often possible, are highly rewarding and allow lender and borrower to make optimal use of the connecting power of heritage to bridge gaps in society.
