- Selecting an art racking system is not just a procurement exercise. It is a long-term preservation, operational and risk management decision that will influence how your collection is accessed, protected and managed for decades.
About the guideline
What's inside?

It is a long-term preservation, operational and risk management decision that will influence how your collection is accessed, protected and managed for decades. 

Before selecting any product, institutions should assess how a storage system will support: 

  • Preservation and conservation outcomes 
  • Safe and ergonomic handling 
  • Efficient use of space 
  • Environmental performance 
  • Security and risk mitigation 
  • Future collection growth 

At Castledex, we begin with consultation and spatial analysis, understanding how your collection functions before recommending a solution aligned to those needs. 

The following framework outlines the key considerations when planning an art racking (picture panel) solution for your collection.
