Loan Requests

Museum collection policy permits loans of collection objects and exhibitions to other museums or to other non-profit institutions that can provide a similar secure environment. Exhibition props, such as display cases, pedestals or mannequins are occasionally lent on a case-by-case basis. Listed below are exhibitions that are available for travelling. A formal loan contract is always required. Please contact the Museum Registrar if you have any questions about loans at jfenn1@kent.edu or call (330) 672-3450. 

Any objects loaned must be handled by the staff of The Kent State University Museum. Objects must be stored and exhibited in conformity with the following environmental requirements:temperature 68-72° F, humidity 40-55%, light 5 footcandles (50 lux) or less. The borrower must provide the same standards of security and care that would be provided for irreplaceable objects in its own collection. The Kent State University Museum may require a Standard Facility Report as evidence of the borrower's standards of security and care.
