An action shall not be brought against a museum for damages\n\nbecause of injury to or loss of property loaned to the museum more\n\nthan two (2) years from the date the museum gives the lender or\n\nperson with legal interests notice of the injury or loss or two (2)\n\nyears from the date of the injury or loss, whichever occurs earlier.\n\nB. An action shall not be brought against a museum to recover\n\nproperty more than two (2) years after the date the museum gives the\n\nperson with legal interests notice of its intent to acquire the\n\nproperty.\n\nC. An action shall not be brought against a museum to recover\n\nproperty on loan more than two (2) years from the date of the last\n\nwritten contact between the lender or person with legal interest and\n\nthe museum as evidenced by the museum's records.\n\nD. A lender is considered to have donated loaned property to\n\nthe museum if the lender fails to file an action to recover the\n\nproperty on loan to the museum within the time periods specified in\n\nsubsections A through C of this section.\n\nE. Notwithstanding subsections C and D of this section, a\n\nlender who was not given notice as provided in this act that the\n\nmuseum intended to terminate a loan as provided in Section 3 of this\n\nact, and who proves that the museum received an adequate notice of\n\nintent to preserve an interest in loaned property, which satisfies\n\nall of the requirements of Section 3 of this act, within the two (2)\n\nyears immediately preceding the filing of an action to recover the\n\nproperty, may recover the property or, if the property has been\n\ndisposed of, the reasonable value of the property at the time it was\n\ndisposed of plus interest at the legal rate.\n\nF. A museum is not liable at any time, in the absence of a\n\ncourt order, for returning property to the original lender even if a\n\nperson other than the lender has filed a notice of intent to\n\npreserve an interest in property. If a person claims competing\n\ninterests in property in the possession of a museum, the burden is\n\nupon the claimant to prove the interest in an action in equity\n\ninitiated by a claimant. A museum is not liable at any time for\n\nreturning property to an uncontested claimant who produced\n\nreasonable proof of ownership or the existence of a security\n\ninterest pursuant to Section 3 of this act.","path":["OK Code","Title 60"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os60.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"159687be047470340c95d49827833265d8a7ab5a3135cafd94608fb53f3cdab1","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-60-60-2008","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-60-60-2010"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
