Art storage is a vital element of professional art logistics. Art collectors may need a well-equipped storage facility for their rotating displays; art dealers and professional entities need storage services for collections awaiting transit or arriving for exhibitions and art fairs. The good news is that our museum-grade art storage in Manhattan perfectly suits all storage needs and preferences. Here are the facility’s main features and a note on their importance for art safety and integrity.
Main Features of Our Art Storage in Manhattan
Our storage facility was designed and equipped in close collaboration with experts from the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Van Gogh Museum. That’s why all security measures are evidence-based and professionally informed, meeting the best industry practices.
We take pride in guaranteeing robust climate control, with advanced MERV 13 filtration systems installed in the entire storage space. The climate control system is custom-designed to meet museum-grade environmental stability requirements and ensure that art is fully intact from the harmful effects of humidity and temperature fluctuations.
Modern security and alarm systems guarantee the stored objects’ physical protection against theft and vandalism. Additional security layers are provided with strict control of access to authorized, properly trained staff, giving criminals no access inside the storage rooms and restricted-access spaces.
Electricity outage is often associated with failure of storage facilities’ climate control and security systems, but our art storage is protected from such emergencies. We have a 750-kWh natural gas emergency generator that can keep the building powered even amid prolonged power outages for whatever reason.
Finally, the storage facility’s location was chosen with natural disasters in mind. Its location on high ground, at a distance from flood zones, maximizes the degree of protection against potential hazards to keep your art collection safe at all times.
