That does sound like a pretty insane recurring cost. Doesn't seem like there's any need for really valuable art that requires insurance when murals, photos and reproductions of the same nice art would do it. Hopefully they just replaced that all with something much cheaper.
- giarc 7y agoI think you could deduce that no pieces would be of substantial value. No one would loan a valuable piece to a hospital knowing that it's likely going to be put in a public hallway and potentially touched or damaged many times a day.
- awillen 7y agoIf you're paying 65k for insurance, the pieces are valuable. They could well be behind glass or protected in other ways.
- TylerE 7y agoI think you're underestimating how big even a "small" hospital can be. That $65k could easily be covering thousands of works.

- giarc 7y agoI work at an 1100 bed hospital, the largest in Western Canada. We have 7 buildings on site, which is a lot of square feet. Additionally, when an insurance company sees the government as a client, I'm sure the pricing gets jacked a bit.
