Requesting a loan

KBC's art collection constitutes a unique and varied collection of paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, curiosities and furniture that is made world-famous thanks to the Museum Snijders&Rockoxhuis. The collection spans six centuries of art history and includes masterpieces by famous artists such as Rubens and Ensor as well as lesser-known gems.

We like to share this collection with the widest possible audience, not only on display at the Museum Snijders&Rockoxhuis, but also through loans to other museums and art institutions.

If you would like to lend a work of art for your exhibition project, please contact Katrijn Van Bragt,
collection registrar: [email protected].

The loan request must meet the following conditions and contain the following information:

• The request must be submitted at least 9 months before the start of the exhibition

  • Overview of the requested works of art (inventory number, artist and title)
