Taxidermy Insurance

Taxidermy insurance is for taxidermists, specimen preparers, wildlife artists and small studios handling animal specimens, mounts, trophies, display pieces and customer property. It is included in the Logistics & Transport cluster because the risk often involves collection, delivery, temporary custody, storage, packaging and fragile or irreplaceable specimen handling as well as workshop activity.

  • Built for taxidermists, specimen preparers, wildlife artists, studios and small specialist handling businesses.

  • Useful where customer specimens are collected, stored, prepared, mounted, displayed, packed or delivered.

  • Helps separate taxidermy studio risk from ordinary courier, warehouse, art transport or general business insurance.

  • Connects taxidermy with goods in transit, specialist handling, premises, stock and customer-property exposure.
