Jason, yeah, I do worry the whole time they are gone that they will return just as they left. I try to deal with major museums only in the hopes they know what they are doing. I have turned down requests when I don't know the organization very well. My biggest concern was when I lent items to Dodger Stadium for their pop-up museum since I knew they used florescent lights and there were a lot of windows. But all of my exhibits had UV filtering acrylic to protect them, and the exhibit was only for a couple of months. I enjoy sharing items from my collection, and I guess that outweighs my concerns for the slight risk they will be damaged in some manner.
