Museums and Cultural Institutions

S-Tech has been looking after the insurance interests of a number of large museums for many years.  We have experience in offering advice in this specialist field as well as for the normal day to day risk exposures that a museum will need to address.

Museums and Cultural Institutions have significantly greater risk exposures than ever before. There is pressure to generate income by expanding the museum's activities. Increased visitor numbers and retail sales, function hire, special or innovative events all increase the operating risks of the museum.
Aside from the normal asset and liability risks, these generate other exposures that require careful consideration including:-

• Product Liability Insurance
• Revenue Protection
• Professional Indemnity/Errors and Omissions
• Libel and Slander
• Heritage Lottery Fund Special Requirements following a Grant e.g. Contract Works

Risk Management Solutions

The competitive and robust commercial environment that museums operate in today greatly increases the importance of risk management. It has become an element which is critical to success and is a major contributory factor in:

• Increased visitor numbers
• Public confidence in the Museum
• Fewer claims
• Competitive premium terms

Museums and other cultural institutions have a growing exposure to health and safety issues that could lead to prosecution resulting in fines and tribunal claims. More than ever before there is a need to have an active risk management strategy that deals both with statutory obligations and also protects the collections and buildings entrusted to your care. The expertise that we have available will help you safeguard your business through prevention and protection which will in turn enable you to reap the benefit of a competitively priced insurance portfolio.
