Immunity from Seizure
There are no exhibitions at the museum with protected objects at present.
Part 6 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 provides immunity from seizure for cultural objects which are loaned from overseas to temporary public exhibitions in approved museums or galleries in the UK where conditions are met when the object enters the UK.
The conditions are:
· The object is usually kept outside the UK
· The object is not owned by a person who is resident in UK
· Importing the object does not contravene any law
· The object is brought into UK for the purpose of a temporary public exhibition at an approved museum or gallery
· The museum or gallery has published information about the object.
All works currently being proposed for or covered by immunity from seizure in the UK are linked to the gov.uk and the Arts Council website.
