Traveling Exhibition Services

What is important when seeking traveling exhibition services?

An efficient, presentable and punctual team that reflects positively on the institution is essential. Also, tight schedules mean that work must happen quickly. A team must have experience with shipping logistics, with various types of packing methods and with proper methods for installing a variety of artworks. Additionally, a good team will take direction well from the client yet offer sound advice based on their experience.

Why are these criteria important?

Rarely does an institution have adequate staff to handle an incoming traveling exhibition, and it must call on additional resources. Hiring a staff that routinely works with the exhibition, installing at other venues, is a good decision. As familiarity grows with each venue, proficiency improves and the clients who hire teams traveling with the exhibition see their installations progress more efficiently.

Why is ELY the best company to offer these services?

Often, we work with museums in the initial planning phases of large traveling exhibitions, providing consultation based on decades of experience. Institutions also hire us to travel their exhibitions for many years, performing the physical installations at each venue. Once onsite, our team is responsible for the success of the entire installation, primarily because they will return after a period of months to the same institution for the deinstallation and travel immediately to repeat the process. Patience guarantees that the exhibition maintenance is minimal and the subsequent installations will proceed smoothly. Another component of an effective traveling exhibition team is consistency. We offer the same staff for the duration of the exhibition to promote familiarity. Finally, our traveling exhibition teams have decades of experience with a variety of systems associated with travelling exhibitions such as security, climate, audio/visual, interactives, lighting, maintenance and troubleshooting.
