Abstract
Netherlands national museums have been radically reformed since 1993. National Museums Autonomous Status Act was enacted in 1993, to set up foundations as the legal successors to the national museums and to shift a broad range of responsibilities from the government to the museums themselves. Since the act of 1993, Netherlands national museums have been privatized and acquired autonomous status. This paper shows the background, management and policy implication of the privatization of the Netherlands national museums.
