TO ALL: Thank you for your responses so far. But maybe I should add a detail. This site is going to be at a visitor's center, therefor it is safe to assume that no admission of sorts would be charged. The museums that I have already contacted via your responses charge an admission fee or a boat ticket fee. Would this idea still work if no admission would be charged? This is a mock of a real project, so contacting insurances companies would kind of be pointless as this situation is only hypothetical.

If you haven’t already I would recommend talking to your Insurance Company.  This would help with the waiver question, and let you know if they will cover you at all.

Hello again All, I have another question. I am currently working on a studio project where we have been instructed to design a component to an exhibition that would be featured in a space outside the interior space of the exhibition. One part of the exhibition is inside and one part is outside. As an idea, I decided to include a boat tour of sorts with props placed throughout the tour, as this exterior area is basically a marsh or swamp type area. I would be careful that this boat ride does not become too hokey, too much like a Disney attraction. This idea stems from the fact that it ties into the biography of the person of which the exhibition is about. This person frequented and lived in a swampy area, so I feel this idea would tie in directly to their life story. For museums that are situated by water, have any featured boat tours/ excursions as one of their features? If so, would that require visitors to sign a waiver, as they are passengers on a boat? What other obstacles regarding this situation should I consider? Is this even possible? Any answers would be appreciated.
