Heritage asset

A heritage asset is something which has value because of its contribution to a nation's society, knowledge, or culture. It is usually a physical object, but in some contexts, it may be intangible social and spiritual inheritance.

The concept is found in several contexts:

  • In financial accounting;
  • In geographical planning in the UK;
  • By museums and artistic and cultural organisations for their collections.
