Dutch museum reevaluating art loans to US under Trump

  • The art institution in The Hague responsible for the Mauritshuis collection is reconsidering loans to American museums amid demands for absolute assurances of the artworks' safe return, as of May 8, 2025.
  • This reevaluation follows apprehensions that the Trump regime threatens US museum freedoms, affecting international lending agreements.
  • The Mauritshuis currently holds 10 paintings from The Frick Collection for its anniversary exhibit but delays reciprocal loans due to these concerns.
  • Director Martine Gosselink stated, "We want iron-clad guarantees, or it won't happen," reflecting fears of propagandistic pressure on US curators.
  • These circumstances suggest future art exchanges may stall without firm assurances, impacting transatlantic museum cooperation and curator interactions.
