Good Morning all:
We are a medium size fine art museum associated with a large
university. We have a beautiful new facility (just six years old) which
houses a collection going back to the first decades of the century.
We have a very ambitious exhibition schedule featuring important
contemporary artists as well as borrowing magnificent works from some
prestigious institutions.
Our insurance coverage has always been handled through the
university risk management department. We feel it is time to examine
the possiblity of obtaining our own fine arts insurance package
independent of the university coverage.
Any suggestions, experiences (either good or bad), just general
dialog would be most appreciated. You can contact me off list so as not
to tie up other people's time.
Thank you, so much,
Sue Thompson
Sr. Registrar
