Are you an art collector? Are you considering donating your artworks to a museum in order to allow everyone to enjoy them?
Procedure for donating an artwork
The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) is not a government-run museum and must self-finance close to 99% of its acquisitions. It nonetheless continues to expand its collections each year thanks to the contributions of its generous donors. The Museum is always open to offers to donate works of art. Such offers are subject to a rigorous selection process. Prospective donors can submit a proposal for a gift of art by completing the form below, , including a description of the artwork and information on its history and provenance (if possible). They must then submit images of the artwork to acquisitions@mbamtl.org. Only complete files with photos will be evaluated.
Regardless of whether a donation offer is accepted, a MMFA representative will contact the prospective donor to inform them of the next steps or of the termination of the donation process.
