Case Studies
ARTEX has been fortunate during its history to assemble the most experienced staff of any company in the specialized field of fine art services. With almost 200 full time employees ARTEX has the resources to manage any project no matter how large. Many of our senior managers have more than 20 years of expertise in the field. As a result ARTEX has been given the responsibility for handling the most challenging and complex museum projects of our time, including:
- Helped to relocate an entire museum collection from NY to DC. This collection consists of over 850,000 objects that were digitally photographed, bar coded, packed, shipped and re-housed in the museum’s new storage facility. Begun in 1999, the project took over four years to complete and was finished on time and on budget.
- In 2003, after an exhaustive search, ARTEX identified an off-site storage facility for the Philadelphia Museum of Art to relocate a large part of their collections to. ARTEX provided the museum with an analysis of the space needed to store the collection and worked as a consultant to design the interior art storage areas and systems to store the collection. ARTEX then worked closely with the museum, its architects and builders throughout the construction process to insure that the systems were properly installed. After construction was complete, ARTEX relocated the collection from the museum to the off site facility, using specially designed moving equipment to avoid the need to individually pack each piece. The project was completed on time and on budget.
