In addition to acquiring and presenting its own collection of works of art, the FPS also borrows works of art from various loan partners. Long-term loans have been concluded with the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, the Flemish Community and the French Community.
The FPS itself also borrows works of art for exhibitions organised by third parties. Each loan request is carefully analysed to determine whether it can be granted. Given the distribution of the collection and the fact that the pieces in the collection are exhibited in representative locations, it is not always possible to make a work available to an external partner for a long period. Participation in an exhibition is highlighted in the exhibitions section.
