Art Management: Logistics Handling and Packing

The Logistics course is divided into two parts, Art Management: Logistics Handling and Packing which is this one and another course, Art Management: Logistics Transport and Storage which will cover different aspects of the module.

The purpose of these courses is to give you all the tools you need to know about in order to move artwork from A to B.

In this course, we will be covering all aspects of logistics so you can have a holistic view of what it's about, how you go about instructing a logistics company and the things that you have to think about. This course will focus mainly on the packing and handling of such art and valuable artefacts. It will help you manage the risk because moving objects is one of the riskiest things you can do with them. Remember in our insurance course we mentioned that artefacts are unique and generally irreplaceable, so it is important not to damage or lose them.
