Acquisition Consideration Submission Form

The National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture
Thank you for your interest in donating to the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture. Use this form to submit artwork, objects, books, or archival material for the museum's acquisition review.

The museum acquires works that align with our mission to preserve, promote, and educate about Puerto Rican arts, culture, and history. Submissions that fall outside this scope will not be considered for acquisition.

Please submit copies and digital files only.

Please do not ship, send, or bring original materials to the museum, as we cannot return them. We will not consider inquiries made in person or by telephone.

Please complete this form as thoroughly as possible. Detailed information helps us make an informed decision about your submission. Please note that the museum does not provide appraisals or establish provenance for materials that are not part of its registered collection.

You will receive a response within 30 business days, or sooner, as our team reviews your submission. Please email collections@nmprac.org if you have not received a response after 30 business days.

Thank you for your consideration.
