I highly recommend contacting Huntington T. Block Insurance in Washington,
D.C.  They are the carrier of choice for hundreds of art museums and public
institutions throughout the country. Call Brandy Crocker at 800-424-8830.
Good Luck!

        Subject:        Insurance for outdoor exhibits

        Greetings from blustery Seattle--

        Does anyone have experience with obtaining insurance policies for
public
        exhibits, particularly outdoor exhibits? A client is interested in
being
        able to restore/replace the exhibits if they are significantly
damaged by
        vandalism. (Theft of the on-average 20-foot-long, eight-foot-high
exhibits
        is less of a concern to him.)

        Many thanks for your input,
        Laura
        --
