Further information
The Government Indemnity Scheme offers an alternative to the cost of commercial insurance. It allows organisations to display art and cultural objects to the public that might not otherwise have been shown due to the high cost of insurance.

This workshop is being offered at a reduced price thanks to the generous support of Museum
Development Yorkshire.
