Myriad ART
Giving artworks and collections to museums
Through Myriad ART, we help donors navigate the cultural, legal and tax complexities involved in donating art in Europe. The artworks we receive are placed in leading museums. We can work with a donor’s preferred institution or identify an appropriate host organization in the country of their choice.
How does it work?
Review of the artwork
Before accepting a donation of artwork, we will ask you to provide us with detailed information on its provenance and a copy of its appraisal report. We will also discuss your recommendation for a host museum in Europe. This information is reviewed by our Art Advisory Committee, which approves all donations of artworks to Myriad Europe.
Contribution to Myriad Europe
Upon approval by our Art Advisory Committee, we will formalise your donation through a gift agreement, which will transfer the artwork’s ownership to Myriad Europe. The gift agreement will confirm that we will use the donated artwork in a manner that is related to its mission.
Loan to the host museum
Myriad Europe will then sign a loan agreement with the host museum. Such agreement will stipulate the institution’s responsibility to protect the artwork from potentially damaging conditions, and its commitment to display the artwork, make it available for research, and/or include it in temporary exhibitions.
