Museum relocation

When it comes to moving works of art, much of the work will be done by the museum staff themselves. However, if any of the objects are too big, calling in the professionals is the best option.

Over the years, Convoi has developed a working relationship with the various specialists involved in the transport of art works. Our experience and expertise with the special packing and packing materials that are used is long and wide. We can fall back on all kinds of aids, whether for horizontal or vertical transport.

Objects often have to be transported via windows, balconies or through frontages that have to be removed. We use special lifting gear, mobile cranes, fork-lifts and trucks to ensure that all spaces can be accessed professionally. The essence of good cooperation is in detailed planning. If necessary we can arrange for trial removals beforehand.

Museums are often located on prime sites, for example, in a town centre or on a country estate. We enjoy a good working relationship with the statutory authorities to ensure that we have the right permits and minimise traffic circulation problems. Additionally, measures need to be taken to protect roadways from any damage or subsidence.
