As a museum consultant, having insurance is crucial to protect you when providing specialist advice to museums, galleries, archives and other heritage organisations. Our public liability insurance covers you if a client is injured or their property is damaged while you work on-site.
For example, you could be liable if a museum curator trips over the equipment you have installed, leading to an injury claim.
As a museum consultant, your guidance informs key decisions involving irreplaceable heritage items, visitor safety and organisational sustainability. However, oversights or errors could negatively impact museums and leave you facing substantial payouts without adequate insurance.
Our specialist public liability policies provide complete peace of mind that any injury, damage or financial loss claims caused by your museum consultancy advice will be dealt with by your insurer.
