Project scope
Relocate The Manchester Museum
Our key task
The preparation, casing, and relocation of a diverse range of artefacts within the Museum's collection.
The Manchester Museum is unique among English university museums, possessing a worldwide collection of both the natural sciences and humanities. These include botany, zoology, geology, antiquities, ethnography, archery, and numismatics. They possess over five million specimens and artefacts, all of which have been designated.
Careful preparation to move precious, rare artefacts
The project included the careful preparation, casing and relocation of a diverse range of artefacts within the collection. These included mummies, a 25' long Inca canoe, a 20' tall plaster of paris cross, a Buddha, butterflies, and a large stuffed buffalo.
To ensure no harm came to the pieces, our staff wore protective gloves, as well as utilising specialist wrapping materials such as acid-free tissue. It was necessary to build bespoke wooden cases for selected items, with tilt stickers to ensure their safe transit.

Just wanted to drop a short note to express my thanks to you and the team for supporting our move yesterday.
Both of your colleagues were a credit to your organisation. Both performed their duties with absolute professionalism. From the first point of contact, through the packaging, removal and unpacking, they worked efficiently, methodically and effectively. They were able to pack and transfer a considerable amount of (in some cases) high value assets without a single incident. The right people in the right place at the right time. Thank you.
Kind regards
Andrew
