I don't presume to advise you on your particular situation, but I
believe many museums do not spend money to insure their collections
which are, truly, irreplaceable, but they do insure the museum
buildings, which can be replaced with an insurance settlement. (and of
course, they have liability insurance) Perhaps something like a generic
Native American collection could be replaced, I don't know.

Subject: building ownership
The Mukwonago Historic Society has 2 buildings both owned by the
village. The society owns the contents and maintains the inside of the
building painting etc. The village maintains the outside, cuts the
grass and pays the utilities.There is a designation of funds each year
for the museum of $5000.00. The village also insures the building and
the contents. There is no formal agreement/lease.
I have a question for the list serve members who carry their own
insurance. The museum is actually 2 museum one is a house museum and a
wing that houses and extensive Native American collection. We would like
to insure this separately but would need to get the collection appraised
before anyone will insure it. Do you know of anyone who does this type
of appraisal?
