A museum is a place brimming with precious objects, works of art and unique collections. Successfully moving a museum poses major challenges for professionals in the cultural sector. Transferring a collection of masterpieces requires great delicacy and know-how. What's more, this type of transfer requires specific handling equipment to dismantle and reassemble everything safely and successfully. In this case, the support and assistance of a moving company is highly recommended. In what follows, we present the essential steps for making a success of this rather delicate project, as well as the specific aspects of this type of move.
How do you prepare for a museum move?
Do you run a museum or cultural center that's about to move premises? Are you in charge of the move? There are a number of steps you need to follow to make the move a success. First of all, we recommend that you prepare for the transfer of your works of art by ensuring preventive conservation.
Whether paintings, statues or other fragile objects, photographic documentation is essential before any move. We recommend that you coordinate all logistical operations in close collaboration with removal professionals. We also offer museum moving solutions. This is a turnkey service that will save you a great deal of time and effort, and ensure the security of your museum's contents.
When it comes to transporting works of art, packaging is a crucial step. It must be carried out according to the materials used in manufacture, but also respecting the conservation conditions of each piece. From inspection and loading to transport and unloading, we provide the handling equipment required for all these stages.
The particularities of a museum move: what precautions need to be taken?
Moving a museum means transporting priceless objects. As a result, they need to be handled with the utmost care and delicacy. The removal professional you choose must master the packing and handling techniques adapted to this type of object. As a result, they must be kept well protected from humidity throughout the transfer process. Stamping, labeling, wrapping with layers of paper and cardboard... In this way, works of art are transported in complete safety.
Handled by a professional moving company, the transfer of a museum to a new location means you benefit from careful handling of all valuable, delicate and fragile objects. What's more, the insured packaging complies with quality standards. Since not all museums have a storage unit for valuables, the moving professional can ensure controlled, secure storage.
