Great interview. I had no idea how much work goes into these exhibits, never even thought of it before.
Excellent show gentlemen. The packing, handling and transportation of fine art and objects of interest is a form of art in itself.

Each institutions have in-house exhibition departments. And we do the jobs the most include making walls and lighting.
