When collections travel beyond your institution’s walls, managing risk becomes as important as managing logistics. Join experts from Huntington T. Block for an informative session exploring the critical role of transit insurance in safeguarding museum objects on loan and supporting successful traveling exhibitions.
Designed for registrars, collections managers, exhibition coordinators, and other museum professionals, this session will examine key considerations when planning artwork transit, including essential insurance requirements, important policy terminology, and the need to align loan agreements and contracts with coverage provisions. Participants will also gain practical strategies and risk management tools to help protect collections at every stage of the journey.
Whether you’re coordinating a single artwork loan or overseeing a complex traveling exhibition, this session will provide valuable insights to help ensure your institution’s collections are protected while in transit.
We’ll be joined by Isabelle de St. Antoine and Erin Kane from Huntington T. Block Insurance Agency.
