Notice is deemed given as of the date of receipt by the lender or claimant if the museum receives proof of receipt by the lender or claimant within thirty days after mailing the notice.

3. If, after a diligent search of its records, the museum does not know the identity of the lender, or does not have an address for the lender or claimant, or if proof of receipt is not received by the museum within thirty days of mailing a notice under subsection 2 of this section, notice is deemed given if the museum publishes notice at least once each week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in both the county, or city if appropriate, in which the museum is located and the county, or city if appropriate, of the lender's or claimant's last address, if known. The date of a notice under this subsection shall be the date of the second published notice. For purposes of this section, a museum is located in the county, or city if appropriate, in which it has its principal place of business, or, if a loan of property was made to a branch of a museum in the county, or city if appropriate, in which the branch is located.
