The Challenge Museum Leaders Face
Museums and cultural institutions operate with complex and often misunderstood risks:
- Collections that are difficult to value or replace
- Older or historic buildings
- Traveling and loaned exhibitions
- Public access, volunteers, and special events
Generic nonprofit insurance often leaves critical gaps.
