If immediate conservation is necessary to protect a loan, a museum's property, or the safety and welfare of the public and the museum's staff and the loan agreement between the museum and the lender does not provide otherwise, a museum has the right to apply conservation measures to a loan without the lender's permission.

When a conservation measure is undertaken under subsection (a) or subsection (b) of this section, the museum: Has a lien on the loan and on the proceeds of any disposition of the loan for the cost of the conservation measure; or Is not liable for any injury to or loss of the loan if the museum: Had a reasonable belief at the time conservation measures were taken that the conservation measures were necessary; and Exercised reasonable care in the choice and application of conservation measures.
