One angle on this subject was the AAM's post "Sensations" ruling that
museums must retain full curatorial control over exhibitions and not
the lender.  This does not exclude lender's presence or suggestions,
but it clearly pinpoints who has the final say.  For obvious reasons,
this point must be made clear from the beginning of discussions with a
potential lender.
