    Cartier Exhibition Canberra Archived Message

    Apologies to Beth and everyone if this is off-topic.

    When I went to see the Cartier exhibition in Canberra I started wondering about the logistics of such of thing.

    With the items like the Williamson brooch on display lent by the Queen:

    The value of the jewels must be in excess of £250 million pounds.

    The exhibit hall must have been chosen with almost paranoid care for security. For lent items owners reassured and perhaps even having the right to consult third party security consultants.

    The insurance would have cost of millions.

    Lastly what would be the logistics of getting the pieces there. I presume there was no way the items all travelled together.

    Does anyone have any information or ideas on any of the above or further points?
