Dear all
I am drafting some advisory text for non-specialist collection mangers on collections insurance and valuations, particularly in respect of fine art. It would be very helpful to have some feedback on the current thinking across the museum sector in these areas.
Are your collections commercially insured? Should they be? Are valuations at item or collection level? Are collections valued professionally or by curators/registrars? How often are values reviewed? What problem have been experienced regarding insuring loans, long and short term, in and out? Etc.
The views of MCG members may be relevant to these issues, especially if you are also a registrar or collection manager.
Respond offline if you like, when complete anonymity will of course be preserved. Thanks for your help.
