Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / Exhibition
Spanish term or phrase: depositar
Esta es una exposición de recorrido amplio que reúne obras que han sido adquiridas, donadas o depositadas en los últimos cinco años y que nunca antes habían sido expuestas, salvo algunas excepciones, como es el caso de aquellas que formaron parte de exposiciones organizadas por el museo, como por ejemplo ....

Does depositadas mean that work has been entered into the exhibition on loan? I would appreciate your views/ suggestions on how best to word this in English. TIA :-)

Explanation:
In Spain, at least, museums add to their collections of works of art by outright purchasing them ("adquiridas"); through donations ("donadas") or through long term loans ("depositadas"). In this bi-lingual text from the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid, you will see that one of the ways the museum acquires works of art is by "déposito(-comodato"), which is translated as a "(gratuitous) loan."

Here are the two texts in question where "déposito" is translated as "loan":

El ingreso por donación se define como la recepción de un objeto por transmisión gratuita intervivos, es decir, por la voluntad del titular del mismo que lo cede en vida a favor de la institución. El depósito-comodato constituye otra forma básica de ingreso de fondos en el museo y se define como el contrato por el que el depositante o comodante entrega al museo un bien cultural para que lo use gratuitamente durante un período de tiempo (habitualmente no inferior a 5 años), al cabo del cual deberá restituirlo.

Incorporation by donation is defined as the receipt of an object for free, through inter vivos transfer, meaning the willing gift of the object by the owner during his or her lifetime to the institution. Gratuitous loan is another essential method of adding to the Museum Collection, and is defined as a contract by which the lender gives the Museum a cultural asset for the Museum’s free use for a set period of time (normally no less than five years), after which it must be returned.

deposited


Explanation:
Because "works that have been acquired, donated or deposited in the last five years..." works fine for me.
DEPOSIT:
2. To place (something) somewhere for safekeeping.
"a vault in which guests may deposit valuable property."

NB: The main reason I'm not agreeing with Rebecca's "loan" (yes, things do get lent to museums), is that Spanish already has words for "lend/loan" - (prestar/prestamo), as in this link:
https://www.mecd.gob.es/cultura-mecd/areas-cultura/museos/co...

Example sentence(s):
  • he horns of one of these are now deposited in the Museum...
  • Catalogue of the fish specimens deposited in the Museum of the Department of Zoology
