How to Get Free Loan Materials from the National Gallery of Art

Did you know the National Gallery of Art will send loan materials to your mailing address? The loan period ranges from 1-9 months and there are hundreds of resources from which to choose! This is a wonderful resource for Charlotte Mason and classical curriculums, as they emphasize art study. Of course, I think it’s a wonderful resource for every learner!

I have successfully borrowed from the NGA for our homeschool.  The items arrived quickly and were easy to use. When we were finished, we shipped them back to the NGA. The only cost on our part was to pay media mail postage for returning the items to the National Gallery of Art.

We received a disc full of photos of artwork, and much to my delight, we also received a dozen or so prints of work (not all resources contain the same amount of materials).

How to get the free loan materials from the National Gallery of Art (US): 

  1. Create a borrower’s ID. Who is eligible to borrow the materials: individuals, non-profit television programs, community groups, and educational institutions.
  2. Browse the catalog (online or request a print one)
  3. Order your resources!
  4. When they’re due, send them back and order another

    What an unbelievable find! There is so much to learn and explore on that site. Thank you for this! We certainly will be taking advantage. I can’t believe they will loan things out for no charge. A local museum here (Burke Museum, Seattle) has all kinds of wonderful learning kits to loan out, such as fossils, ancient Egypt, etc., but it does cost. Worth it, but have to save up for it in the school budget. 🙂 I am just amazed at how much free educational things are out there. Thank you for all the research you do. We are so greatful!

    I am looking for free math DVDs, preferably Algebra 1. If anyone has something for this let me know. I absolutely love this site. I have been homeschooling four children for thirteen years and I am totally trying to do it all or at least most of it free. I am so glad that I found this website. Thank you so very much.
