Dear colleagues,

Recently somebody offered us a contemporary work of art that includes blood
swaps.  I am very hesitant in accepting this work as the swaps could come
from a person with an infectious/contagious disease.
How would you advise on accepting this artwork?
If advised on accepting the work, how would one go about exhibiting this
work to safeguard the public and the museum staff?
Would someone be able to tell me how I could conserve this artwork from
deterioration?

Kind regards,
Roeland Stulemeijer
Conservator
