Both for science and the public, we make the collection accessible by lending objects for research and exhibitions. Lending makes research possible and increases the usefulness and value of the collection. However, there are conditions attached to a loan.

Please send in loan requests at least 9 months before the planned opening date. They should include the following information:

Please note that loans are subject to conditions. Depending on the request, additional requirements may apply.

Loans forscience
Researchers employed by a scientific institute can borrow material from the Naturalis collection for scientific research. Conditions apply to requesting a loan. A formal loan request must be submitted via the Registrar’s Office: registrar@naturalis.mom. Please allow a processing time of at least one month.
Not all objects are available for loan. Naturalis does not lend out types, nor unique or historical material. The condition of the objects must also permit transport. However, these objects are often available for research during a visit to the Naturalis collections.
Naturalis also offers a great deal of information digitally. Please visit our Bioportal for this.
