The heart of any museum is its collection. On average, 90 percent of a
collection is
kept in storage, and
managing this can often be a monumental task. With a multitude of items
ranging from small, delicate artifacts to large works of art comes very unique
storage needs. Large, diverse collections call for highly adaptable storage
space. Rare and delicate pieces require special care, and collections need not
only be safe from the public but also need to be protected from long-term
exposure to the elements. Walter H. Hopkins Company understands the challenges
of managing and employing collections and takes designing storage solutions very
seriously.
Configurable mobile storage systems can safely and efficiently
store items in varying sizes such as record
inventories, archeological artifacts and works of art. They
can utilize a full range of shelving types and other types of storage devices
such as cabinets, drawers, doors, display shelving and many others.
