A similar question appeared on the Registrar's list. Bill Allen of
Henderson Phillips Fine Arts answered, but I of course deleted
his answer.

However, his response basically indicated that terrorism coverage
is now a thing of the past. Museums that have such a clause will
find it removed when they renew their policies and museums that
try to get this coverage will pay through the nose. Bill indicated that
quotes in the hundreds of thousands of dollars could be expected.

Bill also indicated that the trend for museum insurance coverage
is to get more expensive. Insurance rates overall had been falling
until the last year or so. No longer, they're going back up again.
