Conservators have specialized knowledge of the materials and vulnerabilities of artworks. Their expertise ensures that the painting is handled properly during all stages of transportation, from packing and crating to installation at the destination.

A conservator can conduct detailed condition assessments before and after transit, allowing for immediate detection of any changes or potential damage. This helps maintain an accurate record of the artwork’s condition throughout its journey.

Conservators make recommendations to ensure that environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, humidity) are appropriate during transport and at the exhibition site. Proper environmental controls are critical in preventing deterioration or damage to sensitive artworks.

Should any unforeseen issues arise, such as damage during transit or improper handling, a conservator is equipped to address these problems immediately, minimizing potential harm to the artwork.

Having a conservator accompany a painting provides reassurance to museums, galleries, and private collectors that their valuable artworks are receiving the highest level of care throughout the transportation and exhibition process.
