Why museums need a well-managed and scheduled collection

The recent theft of several objects from the British Museum has underlined the need for effective collection management among museums, galleries, and other collection-based institutions. While government-sponsored institutions will usually be covered for their losses by the state, private institutions will typically purchase commercial insurance. For such institutions, failure to demonstrate collection management best-practice could trigger negative consequences in the event of a loss, including financial or reputational damage, or less favourable insurance terms.The recent theft of several objects from the British Museum has underlined the need for effective collection management among museums, galleries, and other collection-based institutions.
