Abstract:
The most frequent question asked by children at the Museum’s educational sessions is how they get the art inside the building. The process for how art arrives at the Museum is detailed here. The moving of artwork is well-planned, well-controlled, and well-insured. Most art comes through the loading dock at the Museum and requires a team to oversee the process and art already at the Museum is transported from building-to-building via an underground tunnel.
