When it comes to moving a museum collection, careful packing isn’t just important, it’s essential.
Our team recently had the opportunity to take on a unique project for the Museum of American Glass, packing more than 300 boxes of donations of antique glass for their move. From the first box to the last, this project required organization, attention to detail, and the kind of care that comes from an experienced moving team like TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® Northern Michigan.
300+ Boxes, One Carefully Organized Project
Packing hundreds of boxes is a major undertaking under any circumstances. When the items belong to a museum, however, there’s an added level of responsibility.
Our crew worked methodically through the collection, making sure items were properly prepared and securely packed for transportation. Each box was handled with care, with the goal of keeping the collection organized and protected throughout the moving process.
For a project of this size, organization is just as important as packing. Keeping track of hundreds of boxes helps make the entire move more efficient.
Care and Experience Matter
Museum moves can present challenges that aren't always found in a typical residential or commercial move. Collections may include fragile, unusual, or irreplaceable items that require extra attention during handling and packing. In this case, it was thousands of unique glass pieces, some of which were over 100 years old!
That’s why our team approaches projects like this with patience and precision. We take the time to understand what we’re moving, determine how each item should be protected, and create a packing process that keeps the project moving without sacrificing care.
