Lending Collection
HoMA’s Lending Collection brings art, history, and culture to life by providing educators with thousands of artifacts and objects from around the world to borrow and use in their classrooms. Students can see and touch tools, ceramics, clothing, currency, dolls, fiber arts, furniture, jewelry, masks, musical instruments, puppets, sculptures, textiles, baskets, toys, art reproductions, and more.
