Unless there is a written loan agreement to the contrary, a museum may apply
conservation measures to property on loan to the museum pursuant to this
section.
The museum may apply conservation measures pursuant to this section if:
action is required to protect the property on loan or other property in the
custody of the museum, or the property on loan is a hazard to the health and
safety of the public or the museum staff; and the circumstances described in
paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection exist.
(a) The museum attempts to locate the owner of the property using the
method described in KRS 171.840(2)(b), (c), and (d)1., 2., 3., 4., and 5.
The required notice shall also state the proposed conservation measures,
seek the owner's permission to proceed with the conservation measures,
and inform the owner that if he does not come forward within fourteen
(14) days after the last published notice and agree to the proposed
conservation measures or retrieve the property within seven (7) days after
coming forward, then the museum shall proceed with the proposed
conservation measures.
(b) The owner fails to agree to the proposed conservation measures or to
retrieve his property within the time periods specified in paragraph (a) of
this subsection.
If a museum applies conservation measures pursuant to this section, the
museum:
(a) Shall acquire a lien on the property in the amount of the costs incurred by
the museum; and
(b) Shall not be liable for injury or loss of the property if the museum:
1.
Had a reasonable belief at the time the conservation occurred that
the conservation was necessary to protect the property on loan or
other property in the custody of the museum, or that the property on
loan was a hazard to the health and safety of the public or the
museum staff; and
2.
Exercised reasonable care in the choice and application of
conservation measures.
