Options for Protecting Art Collections

This webinar covers how to prepare and protect your collection for the unexpected. Protecting art collections is important for many reasons, as Emily Thompson will explain. Firstly, art is often very valuable, both financially and culturally. Secondly, art is fragile and can be easily damaged. Finally, art is often irreplaceable - once it is destroyed, it can never be recovered.

For example, proper storage protects against physical damage, light damage, and environmental damage. There are many types of storage available, so the key is to choose a storage option that will best protect the specific type of artwork being stored.
