We kindly ask you to submit loan requests at least 9 months before the start of the loan. Requests for individual works should be submitted no later than 6 months prior. If the exhibition includes loans of more than ten works from EMMA’s collections, we ask you to contact us at least one year beforehand.

The loan request must contain:

  • The contact information and contact person of the Applicant

  • A list of the objects included in the loan request

As an attachment to the loan request, please deliver a Facility Report which clearly shows the conditions of the exhibition spaces, for example matters having to do with temperature and humidity control and with the security of the spaces.

For a work loan request to be accepted, it’s required that the Loan Giver presents a transport plan and insures the works for the time span of the loan. The handling of the works has to be done by personnel specialized in handling artworks.
