Museum Storage Solutions
Our museum storage solutions include museum cabinets, mobile shelving, flat file cabinets and much more.
Museum Collections:
Wonderful to display, increasingly difficult to protect and store.
For museum curators, storage is a consistent struggle. Preservation and best practices need to be balanced with a constant influx of new artifacts and items—and along the way, lack of storage means compromised collections.
In working with many museums, we’ve learned that integrity, preservation, and conservation of your collections are the #1 priorities. We assist museums with reorganizing, repurposing, and reconsidering the possibilities of their space.
fine art
Storage
Our art rack storage systems offer a versatile and secure way to store fine art collections, with special consideration to two-dimensional works. Racks can either be hung from the ceiling or integrated into a museum’s existing floor, and can store double the amount of art by allowing pieces on both sides of the rack without interference.
Museum
storage cabinets
For smaller items and especially priceless artifacts, museum storage cabinets can be designed to meet the specific needs of your staff, facility, schedule, and budget. These cabinets are approved for museum and archival use, with solvent-free, non-reactive baked polyester coating.
From arms and armor, jar storage, insignia, textiles, bones and much more, —feature several high-density mobile storage systems with mounted cabinets and shelving that is custom fit whatever object and artifact that needs storing. The organization of these storage vaults are so impressive that viewing windows were installed to afford visitors a look behind the scenes.
Weapon
Storage
Though weapons storage is more synonymous with public safety or military applications, can play an important role in museums.
Because of the many different types of weapons in any museum’s collection, shelving paired with high-density mobile carriages maximizes storage space to its full capacity.
For additional weapons storage, weapons racks can be used, and other artifacts such as body armor, swords, and helmets can be placed on sturdy, adjustable wide span shelving and mounted to additional compact storage shelving units.
HIGH-DENSITY
MOBILE STORAGE
High-density mobile shelving systems provide museums with an optimal solution for preserving and organizing expanding collections within limited space. These systems eliminate fixed aisles by mounting shelving units on carriage-and-rail systems that compact together and slide apart only when access is needed, effectively doubling storage capacity in the same footprint. Museum-grade high-density shelving incorporates specialized features like climate control integration, vibration reduction, and customized fittings for artifacts of various sizes and materials. The systems can be configured with museum-quality cabinets, drawers for flat storage of textiles or works on paper, and specialized racks for framed artwork.
