A. Use of museum of New Mexico collections and facilities for commercial purposes shall not be encouraged and will be allowed only when carefully, controlled and monitored by museum staff. Permission for commercial use of museum collections and facilities must be obtained from the associate director of the appropriate bureau and the director, museum of New Mexico. Use of museum objects will be permitted only upon written recommendation from the responsible curator, who will accompany the objects during their use. A prior letter of intent and proof of adequate insurance against damages are also required.

B. Utilization of museum facilities must not result in permanent alteration to grounds or structures. Facilities must be returned to their prior condition after use, and the user will be responsible for all cleaning and repairs. Every effort should be made to avoid disrupting normal visitor access.

C. Commercial media productions must not distort the purposes or historical integrity of the museum and its collections. Permission to use objects and facilities will be withdrawn by the director if the museum is compromised in any manner. No object, exhibit or structure will be used in promotion of a product or service that implies endorsement by the state or the museum of New Mexico.
