When packing museum art pieces for shipping, no amount of time, care, or money should be spared. Most of the pieces found in museums and galleries are priceless, so it is imperative that art shipping is well-packaged.
Before these valuable pieces of art are crated, they must be properly wrapped and insulated from damage. A variety of methods can be used, such as custom cushioning, blocking & bracing and Foam-In-Place. Depending on the design, medium, and structure of your piece of art, the method of packaging and crating can vary. A qualified art shipping company will be able to recommend the right options for your artwork.
Before beginning the moving process, the art should be accurately measured. Once you have these dimensions, an experienced art shipping professional can help you select the correct- sized crate, along with the amount of packing materials you need, and can also generate a quote for transport. The company you choose to ship your museum art should take care of all aspects of the move. This includes removal of the piece of art, the complete and careful packing and crating, the transport process, and the final task of unloading and uncrating the piece.
