Valentina Brambilla, Museo Egizio, Turin, Italy Since 2004, the Fondazione Museo Egizio di Torino has been managing, enhancing and promoting a public archaeological collection of some 40,000 artefacts, conferred by the Ministry of Culture. While the management and enhancement of the Collection is a responsibility of the Fondazione Museo Egizio, it remains under the jurisdiction of the Ministry (founding partner) to safeguard the collection and maintain its integrity. In managing an outgoing loan the Exhibition Department interfaces therefore with the Archaeological Superintendence of Turin and indirectly with the Ministry at every stage, following the guidelines of the Cultural Heritage Code and related circulars. To conduct a preliminary evaluation of the exhibition’s scientific project and to start the paperwork with the Ministry on time, the loan application should reach the Museo Egizio di Torino at least six months earlier than the exhibition’s opening. The documentation to submit slightly varies depending on the exhibition venue and the nature of the artefacts; deadlines are strict and the correctness of the documents is important for obtaining the necessary permits, which may arrive shortly before the loan departure or even delay it. The presentation will analyse- from our lender perspective- the various bureaucratic steps to be taken to obtain the final ministerial authorisation and allow the shipment to depart on time; with the support of case studies* we will also highlight critical issues encountered. Case studies: - Loan including artefacts whose authorisation cannot be delegated to the local Superintendence. - Loan request of both archaeological and archival materials. - Loan out of the UE
