Museum-Standard Protocols
Our team follows museum-standard handling protocols including proper glove use, condition reporting, environmental monitoring, and conservation-minded packing techniques. We treat every collection with the respect and care it deserves.
Climate-Controlled Transportation
Cultural materials often require specific temperature and humidity conditions. Our climate-controlled vehicles maintain stable environments, and we monitor conditions throughout transport to ensure collection safety.
Documentation and Provenance
We provide comprehensive documentation including condition reports, photographic records, and chain-of-custody tracking. This documentation maintains provenance and meets institutional requirements for collection management.
Custom Crating and Packing
Each piece receives custom protection using archival-quality materials. From padded crates for sculptures to custom boxes for fragile artifacts, we design packing solutions appropriate for each object’s needs.
Installation Services
Beyond transportation, we provide professional installation services including artwork hanging, object placement, and exhibition setup coordination. Our team works with curators and designers to realize exhibition visions.
Regional Cultural Institution Experience
We work with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh’s major cultural institutions including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Barnes Foundation, Carnegie Museums, and numerous galleries and private collections.
