French term
activation des oeuvres
French to English
Law/Patents
Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
The source text is a loan agreement between an art museum and a French cultural body, permitting the museum to borrow art work for its exhibition. The term in question comes from the following clause:
"L'emprunteur s'engage à prendre en charge les frais de fournitures diverses permettant l’activation des oeuvres”
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Seems likely these are works that use some consumable product while they are being exhibited.

allowing the works to be displayed
Hello,
Works cannot be "activer" if they aren't displayed, right?
I hope this helps.
