We are also a non-collecting institution, and we have been through the MAP process. I learned that collections stewardship can apply to objects and exhibitions that you borrow as well - the point is how do you care for objects while they are in your possession, whether that is short- or long-term.
If you are a non-exhibiting institution as well, perhaps like an experiential museum, then I would definitely do the MAP and discuss that with your reviewer.

Hi all,
As an emerging and non-collecting museum, I was wondering what the accreditation process might look like as far as "collections stewardship" goes?
