This order protects specific artworks and cultural objects loaned from seven Czech museums and galleries to the MAHJ museum in Paris. The items cannot be seized in France during the loan period from 15 September 2026 to 14 April 2027, which helps ensure they can be displayed in the exhibition without legal interference. The main impact is on lenders, the French host museum, and any party that might try to claim or seize those works while they are in France. The objects are listed in a separate, unpublished annex that can be consulted at the French Ministry of Culture.
