Museum Partnerships

'Port and harbour of Whitehaven' by Samuel Walters (1811-1882), Oil on canvas, 84 x 139cm , loaned to the Beacon Museum at Whitehaven
This loan was initially made for the duration of the temporary exhibition Paintings of Whitehaven (17 July -19 September 2010), but has now been extended for a further 2 years, and is on display in the maritime gallery.
Our standard conditions for loans and policy are set out in our loans policy and this sets out in detail the types of loans that we normally make and the conditions that we normally ask a lender to provide.
National Museums Liverpool will not consider any loan requests received during the period April 2009 and January 2012. This is because we have been and are still developing the Museum of Liverpool. A large proportion of our staff and resources are dedicated to achieving this fantastic development and we cannot therefore process loans requests during this period.
