Temporary Art Gallery Storage Solutions for London Exhibitions

With the changing seasons, new exhibitions often emerge across the capital. If you manage a gallery or museum, then it’s worth considering temporary art gallery storage solutions for your London exhibition. Secure, off-site storage for touring shows or temporary collections reduces the impact on storage space needed for your permanent collections. In this blog, we look at why short-term storage could provide a useful solution for London-based exhibitions. 

Increase space with off-site gallery and museum storage facilities

In the capital, many museums and galleries have limited back-of-house space to store their own collections, even when they have pieces out on loan. Using a temporary storage facility could offer various benefits, from freeing up gallery space to acting as a holding bay for exhibition changeovers. Storing plinths, display cases, and exhibition backdrops at a nearby, off-site, central location can also be useful when you are preparing for a touring exhibition. 

Simplify logistics with short-term storage solutions for exhibitions

Depending on the type and duration of your exhibition, a reliable, safe storage facility could help you simplify your logistics. When you are building a new exhibition, a short-term storage solution can provide you with much-needed additional space. Your gallery or museum attendants will have more room to construct new displays. An old exhibit can be stored until it’s needed, whether this is back at your own gallery, museum or at another location. 

Protect displays by using a seasonal storage unit for changeovers

Using an external location with an ambient temperature to store your display components also reduces exposure to dust and vibration during exhibition changeovers or renovations. If you are rebuilding part of your museum or gallery, or you have an outdoor display, then you are likely to be reliant on the vagaries of the British weather. A temporary storage space could provide you with a safe, dry location to store display cases and exhibition walls.

Choose secure storage in London for your exhibition items

Museum display cases can become fragile when transported so it’s essential to make sure you use a storage location with an experienced on-site team. You will need full reassurance that your display components are safe and handled with care. If you plan to store an entire exhibit, then check the facility has 24/7 CCTV monitoring with appointment-only access. At Stockroom London, we can also provide GPS-tracked vehicles to transport your items.
