00:00 Did you know that the smile of the joconde is not guaranteed?
00:02 This Sunday, January 28, two environmental activists threw soup on the armored window of the joconde in Louvre.
00:08 Fortunately, the work that is not covered by insurance has not suffered any damage.
00:12 But how do museums ensure their precious collections?
00:14 Well, most of the works of public museums are not insured.
00:18 In the event of degradation, it is up to the State to adjust the note.
00:20 For private museums, it is different.
00:22 Permanent collections are sometimes insured.
00:24 But this depends on several factors such as the nature of the work, its fragility, the means of protection it benefits from, or whether the artist is alive or not.
00:32 Insurance contracts of the "all risks except" type cover fires, floods, robberies or vandalism.
00:38 However, temporary collections that borrow works from other museums around the world are systematically insured,
00:44 because they are transported and exposed to a real risk of degradation.
