Museum and conservation planning is a critical process that aims to preserve and protect cultural heritage for future generations. Our team is experienced in advising on and implementing all aspects of a collection's needs.

Our team assesses your collection, defining the mission, scope, and objectives of the institution, as well as understanding the community it serves. We gain an understanding of the collection site including its storage and display areas and the ongoing storage and conservation needs of the collection.

These initial assessments help form the recommendations for your collection's needs. This can include advice on layout, equipment needs, storage, furniture, environmental conditions and logistics for handling your artefacts or artworks. We also advise on ongoing conservation needs including preventative measures such as regular cleaning, inspection, and maintenance of artefacts and their display cases to prevent deterioration.

Benefits of museum and conservation planning include:

Improved collection management: Planning helps organise and manage collections efficiently, ensuring that objects are properly documented, stored, and maintained.

Strategic direction: It provides a clear mission, vision, and strategic goals for the institution, guiding decision-making and resource allocation.

Enhanced conservation planning: Conservation planning identifies items in need of restoration, establishing priorities and ensuring proper care and maintenance.

Efficient resource allocation: Effective planning optimises the use of available resources, reducing waste and mismanagement.

Emergency preparedness: Planning helps institutions prepare for emergencies and disasters, reducing the risk of damage to collections.

Legacy and sustainability: Effective planning contributes to the long-term legacy and sustainability of cultural institutions, ensuring they continue to thrive and contribute to society.
