Iseult Harrington (asker) May 19, 2017:
Sorry for not clarifying this sooner... but it is for an abstract, despite appearing like something from a legal document, and the word that I had been looking for was indeed "sojourn" (confirmed by client/TM)- would not be my favourite or the one I would usually choose but there you go...many thanks for all your help!
Marie Wilson May 19, 2017:
I didn't think this question was to going to be so complicated. The terms "período de esposición/exhibición/préstamo" exist in Spanish anyway, and this text just says "estancia". Does it have to be so specific?
Robert Carter May 19, 2017:
@Helena Yes, that did occur to me too on reflection, perhaps neither is correct? Maybe it depends on the perspective here, whether you are the lender or the borrower?
12316323 (X) May 19, 2017:
I just took Isa's "the "stay" period when a work of art that is on loan to a museum or gallery is exhibited" to the letter. For me, there's only one way of understanding that ("stay" seems to be used without certainty/precision and may not have been the most apt term, and the subsequent explanation seemed clear and well defined to me: when it's exhibited). I understand it in such a way that loan period is not a possible translation, though my translation may not be the most apt one either. And I may be misunderstanding it entirely.
Helena Chavarria May 19, 2017:
@Robert But the 'loan period' probably starts as soon as a work leaves where it usually lives and ends when it's returned safe and sound. I'm thinking of works that travel from one country or continent to another.
Robert Carter May 19, 2017:
@Kathryn Yes, difficult to tell exactly, but I would assume that logically the "stay" would be the entire period for which it is at the borrowing museum, whereas the exhibition period would be shorter than its "stay". As always, more context would help us decide.
12316323 (X) May 18, 2017:
Agreed, Helena. Though it was Muriel who insisted we needed more context :)

Although, if this had been labeled as a legal question, I never would have dared touch it (for better or worse).
Helena Chavarria May 18, 2017:
@Kathryn I know the question is classified as 'Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting' but it looks to me like something you might see in an agreement.

You're right, we really need more context.
12316323 (X) May 18, 2017:
The clearest examples of loan period and exhibition period being different things, to my mind (and, from what I understand Isa to be asking, she's referring to the exhibition period, or whatever better translation exists- but not the loan period):

"The Items shall be on loan to You during the Loan Period and on display during the Exhibition Period"

"The term ‘Loan Period’ refers to the time that the objects are outside the direct
care of the National Railway Museum. This includes any periods of transport
from and to the National Railway Museum or Locomotion, the National
Railway Museum at Shildon, or other venue, the exhibition period itself and
any additional time necessary for storage before, during, or after the
exhibition."

"The exhibition period does not necessarily coincide in full with the loan period
indicated on the face of this agreement."

"1.2. The period of the loan will run FROM:
TO:
1.3 The exhibition period will be"
12316323 (X) May 18, 2017:
Response to Robert: Yes, exactly. Isa asked: "the "stay" period when a work of art that is on loan to a museum or gallery is exhibited." So, I understood her to be asking not for the term/length of time for the entire loan, but rather only the time that said loaned piece is exhibited/on display.

Each reference I shared that included the term "loan period" also included the term "exhibition period," many of them distinguishing the one from the other and specifying that they are not the same. Of course, "loan period" will have many hits on Google and references in texts, as it's an accurate term... for a separate idea. Or so I believe... am I wrong here? Always asked with true humility :)
Muriel Vasconcellos May 18, 2017:
More context? I would like to see it in the full Spanish context; context is everything!

sojourn

This is a possibility:
"On display in the Guggenheim exhibit is a preparatory sketch of the head of the rearing horse in Guernica. It differs significantly from the finished version. But it is a fitting representation of the entire creative process which led to the unveiling of the work in Paris in 1937, its long **sojourn** at the Museum of Modern Art in New York during the years of the Franco regime and its eventual return to Spain in 1981."

Eg. Limiting the duration of the loan to a shorter term will help avoid problems that arise when lenders lose contact or relocate.

Packing, Couriers and Transportation
All loans from the National Gallery are cased. The National Gallery will organise a high specification museum case for each loan (we usually hire rental cases that are re-fitted for each loan). Packing is done by National Gallery staff prior to despatch to the opening venue and visa-versa at unpacking upon return to the Gallery at the end of the loan period.

https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/about-us/the-gallery-nati...

Tate reserves the right to request the installation of automatic monitoring equipment in the display space where Tate works are being displayed and to receive copies of environmental records at the end of the loan period.

http://www.tate.org.uk/about/our-work/collection/loans/care-...

Outgoing Loans
Requests for loans from the museum’s collections will be evaluated according to the following criteria:

The object is not judged to be too fragile to withstand the associated handling, shipping, and changes in climate.
Conditions during the loan period will not endanger the object.
The object is not needed during the requested loan period.

neutral Robert Carter : Not sure about this, Kathryn. The last reference includes both "loan period" and "exhibition period", in which case I would assume "loan period" is more equivalent to "estancia". Saludos!

Yes, precisely. See my comments above, and please let me know if I'm off base.

to be on display/ display time/period

This is an example from the English narrative found in a catalogue of a special exhibition held in Madtrid last year and it uses the term twice.
Example sentence:

"Among those (works) on display are key examples that were not seen in 'sHertogenobsch, such as XXXX..."

(...) where Bosch (name of the work) remains on display until 8 May this year.
