Howard Benge, Director of the Insurance Museum, will be answering this question in this Master's Series webinar.
Insurance is a very broad subject that goes back 100s of years and shapes every corner of modern life. Risk management goes back further well into prehistory. Join Howard Benge, Director of the Insurance Museum, for an engaging exploration of how the Museum is preserving and sharing this powerful narrative, including early marine and fire insurance, life assurance, the bustling coffee houses, and the professionalisation of the sector. You will discover how the Insurance Museum’s objects, stories and outreach are bringing insurance history to life for the public, schools, and the profession itself, telling the global story of insurance, past, present and future.
