I would think the borrowing institution should be responsible for the treatment.  I don't see it any different than if a work required conservation or stabilization to travel and be loaned.

Another museum in the area of my museum would like to have on loan a piece from our collection. It happens to be a wooden desk. The borrowing museum stated that they would like it treated for termites before taking it into their facility.

Is it the responsibility of the lending institution or the borrowing institution to do/pay for that?
