Museum and Gallery Moving in San Antonio

A gallery may stay open while an outgoing exhibit is taken down, so your exhibitions lead sets the last visitor period and releases spaces in sequence. We ask for the deinstallation plan, the receiving floor plan, and a list of works that cannot share a loading window with general fixtures. Your staff schedules artist and lender pickups outside our load list. Ask about evening or weekend work around public hours.

Loading conditions often decide the order of work. We check the clear opening of gallery doors, the path from each case to the loading area, and whether a freight elevator or dock reservation is required. The building may ask for a Certificate of Insurance and a protected carry route through public areas. At arrival, we place cases and plinths from the curator's map before art installation begins.

We measure empty cases and check their travel path with your exhibitions lead. Pads and edge protection go on case frames and finished plinths; small mounts and fittings are packed by exhibit section. The case maker or display contractor directs glass removal. Panels travel separately from their labeled base.

Art receives an individual decision. Your curator specifies what may be wrapped, what needs a crate, its orientation, and who may release it. We can measure and prepare approved pieces for crating on request, then carry them according to those written directions. When a conservator packs a work, we carry it after release. At arrival, the crew places closed crates and wrapped works in the designated receiving area; your team opens, examines, and installs the art. This keeps installation judgments with the people responsible for the collection.
