Hello all-

I work at a museum that has about 5,000 artifacts.  I am relatively new
here, and in the past the museum has peen paying an insurance premium to
cover the estimated worth of the collection.  This does not make sense to
me, since we can't buy back the artifacts if something happens.  What do
other museums do in terms of insurance for artifacts?  Do most have some
sort of insurance, but not necessarily for the entire worth of the
collection, or do most just figure it's not worth it at all?

Thanks in advance-

Andy
