The complete roster includes the further one hundred and sixty-four entries with dispatches stretching back to 2019. Loans with dispatch dates more than seven years old are increasingly likely to involve formal extension agreements; the desk's dispute-watch criteria — described on the methodology page — flag the loans where the original return date has passed without a published extension agreement.

How the roster is sorted.

The default sort is by dispatch date, most recent first. The CSV export available to Newsroom and Institutional subscribers allows sorting by lender, by receiving institution, by receiving country, by dispatch date, by contractual return date, or by status. The dispute-watch loans appear in the export with an explicit dispute-status flag and the reason-code corresponding to the dispute-watch criteria.

What "active" means.

An active loan is one for which (a) the EAA's dispatch register lists the object as currently outside Egypt, (b) the receiving museum's published loan register lists the object as currently in their care, and (c) no return-clearance customs filing has been recorded at Port Said or Alexandria. Loans that satisfy two of three but not all three criteria are flagged in the working notes; readers will find them appearing in the corrections log when the third source confirms or contradicts.

The roster by receiving country.

Distribution of the current one hundred and eighty-four active loans by receiving country, as of the 15 June 2026 update. The United Kingdom holds the largest share at thirty-one loans (sixteen point eight percent), followed by France (twenty-six), Germany (twenty-three), the United States (nineteen), Italy (sixteen), the Netherlands (eleven), Belgium (eight), Japan (six), Spain (six), Switzerland (five), Austria (four), Sweden (four), Canada (four), Australia (three), Russia (three), Ireland (two), South Korea (two), China (two), New Zealand (one). The geographic distribution has shifted slightly over the watch's eleven years; the United Kingdom's share has fallen from twenty-two percent in 2015 to today's seventeen percent, partly reflecting the British Museum's stricter loan policy since 2019 and partly the rise of the Spanish, Belgian and East Asian receiving institutions.

The full Friday roster export is available to Newsroom and Institutional subscribers. The current dispute-watch — twelve loans satisfying one or more of the dispute criteria — is on the dispute-watch page. The list of lender museums covers the thirty-eight receiving institutions. The recent-returns page documents loans completed in the past twelve months.
