National Museums Liverpool awarded a contract to Crown Fine Art Ltd for crate making, transportation, and storage of objects from rooms 1-4 of the Walker Art Gallery.

The contract, valued at £46,226, supported a roof work and gallery refurbishment project scheduled to commence in April 2020.

The scope included a range of crating solutions such as transit frames and full crates, with delivery to the Walker Art Gallery by 31 January 2020.

National Museums Liverpool organised technicians to pack the objects for collection by 2 March 2020.

All objects were transported in accordance with the General transport conditions set out in Annex E of the UK Government Indemnity Scheme Guidelines for national institutions.

Storage was required for an estimated 10 months, complying with the general security and environmental conditions in Annex D of the same guidelines, with an estimated end date of 25 January.

At the end of the storage period, the objects were transported back to the Walker Art Gallery, with flexibility allowed for potential extension of the storage period.
