A world class fine art storage and handling facility is designed to provide a highly secure environment to protect sensitive and valuable works of art. Employing the latest technology in security and fire protection systems, museum standard humidity and temperature control, environmental monitoring and closely managed handling procedures are paramount. Flexible solutions to the many challenges involved in caring for collections in storage and in transit and delivering extensive acquisition, loan and exhibition programmes are required. It is important for students to understand the significance of a smooth running operation dealing with these complex tasks.
