incurred by the museum; and
(2) is not liable for injury to or loss of the property if the museum:
(A) had a reasonable belief at the time the action was taken that

loan was a hazard to the health and safety of the public or the
museum staff; and
(B) exercised reasonable care in the choice and application of
