Cultural Heritage Inspectorate

In order to fulfil its obligations to protect the national cultural heritage, the Dutch government created a national organisation, the Cultural Protection Inspectorate (in Dutch: de Inspectie Cultuurbescherming or ICB), which is run and coordinated by the Ministry of Education, Culture & Sciences (Onderwijs, Cultuur & Wetenschappen). The Inspectorate is made up of volunteers appointed by the Minister.
