Covid-19. We are still catching up with requests from the Covid lockdown times. This may still lead to overall longer process times of loan requests. [Updated May 2022] The skeleton collection is partly available for the moment due to renovation work. During this time, requests regarding skeleton material may take longer to process. [Updated May 2022] Due to reorganisation are our skin collections only partly available. This may result in longer handling times for requests of skin material.
