Vermost Insurance Agency - August 2024

PROTECT YOUR FAMILY AND HOME WITH MORTGAGE PROTECTION INSURANCE For most of us, our mortgages are our largest sources of debt. After all, our homes are typically the largest monthly bill (and the most important). However, imagine this: you’re involved in a serious car accident and sustain serious injuries. Due to a few surgeries and recovery periods, you are out of work for a few months or even a year! What now? How do you pay your bills? What happens to your home in this scenario? What about your family? Mortgage protection insurance (MPI) can help your family cover the mortgage in certain situations, such as if you pass away before the mortgage is paid off. Some MPI policies also offer coverage for a specific period if you become disabled or lose your job as a result of the accident. MPI policies are similar to life insurance in that each month, you pay a premium to keep your coverage active. If you pass away during the policy term, the insurer will pay a death benefit equal to the mortgage amount specified in the policy terms. Some policies cover the remaining mortgage term, while others may not.

Digital Discovery Virtual Museum Tours Make Art and History Accessible The priceless artwork, artifacts, and other attractions draw tourists worldwide to museums. However, not everyone can travel the globe to view the works of accomplished artists, curious historical figures, and inventions of esteemed engineers. Luckily, famed institutions like the Louvre in Paris, The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Smithsonian Museums in Washington, D.C., all have something in common: Patrons can enjoy them online . The internet helps bring esteemed exhibitions to your browser, where you can take virtual tours free of charge . Here are three incredible museums with virtual tours for all to enjoy! THE LOUVRE Built partly in the ruins of a 12th-century fortress, France’s national museum and art gallery is the most popular destination of its kind. The French revolutionary government opened the Louvre in 1793, and Napoleon expanded it. Today, it houses some of the world’s most famous works of art, including Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa.” You can enjoy great swathes of its exhibits through virtual tours on its website. NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY Part of the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., the National Museum of Natural History is the most-visited natural history museum in the world . Its 1.5 million-square-foot grounds house a dizzying array of exhibits to delight visitors of all ages. Virtual tours are available on its website and include spectacular views of its awe-inspiring exhibits. THE STATE HERMITAGE MUSEUM Founded by Catherine the Great in 1764, the world-famous Hermitage Art Museum is in the Russian city of St. Petersburg. Nicholas I and the Soviet Union, among others, have reconstructed and expanded it since then. While some of its works were sold to fund Soviet industrialization, it is still a tremendous beacon of art and culture. With political tension and despotic rule making it more difficult for those in the West to visit Russia at all , its virtual tours, which you can find on Google’s Arts and Culture website, are the safest way to view its contents.
