This may be more of a concern for the established museum than for you,
but the contract should state what materials may and may not be removed
from the exhibit, and guidelines for including additional material,
should the need arise at some point to alter the exhibit.  Of course,
the contract should also clarify whose insurance is covering the
exhibition--usually, it will be the borrower (ie., your institution).

Cheers,

Hello Listers!  I am writing a contract letter that covers an
agreement
between our fledgling museum and an established museum.  The
established
museum is creating an exhibition for our organization.  Are there
things
that folks out there have learned about such an arrangement that we
should
be aware of?  Many thanks!  Mary Agnes Beach  Coral Gables Museum
