Art donations play a pivotal role in enriching the collections of museums. This panel will analyze the legal framework governing art donations, exploring the intricacies of donor agreements and the obligations they impose on museums. Additionally, we will examine the tax implications for donors and museums, highlighting the benefits and potential pitfalls associated with charitable contributions of art. Beyond the legal and financial aspects, the panel will shed light on the practices and policies that museums employ to accept and integrate donated works into their collections.
