This course offers specially designed training on the handling, storage, and transportation of cultural heritage focusing on modern and contemporary artworks (paintings, sculptures, and installation works).

Artworks have to be moved, packed, transported, stored, and presented properly to guarantee their preservation and safety. Curators, gallery staff, art handlers, and technicians are in direct and frequent contact with artworks and therefore need to know the essentials of proper care, maintenance and preservation. Additionally, in an ever-expanding global art world, this knowledge is crucial as the loan and transportation of works of art have increased significantly in recent years

This course is useful for anyone in contact with artworks and will provide basic guidelines for handling, packaging, transport and storage of works of art. In addition, the lecturer will enrich these guidelines, methods, and techniques through case studies and day-to-day examples.
