Art Storage Shelving and Racks | Museum Storage Solutions
Preserve and organize artwork with secure, space-saving shelving systems made for museums, galleries, and collectors. These solutions maximize visibility, protect collections, and adapt to changing exhibit needs. Whether you're storing framed pieces, canvases, or mixed media, modular racks keep your inventory safe, organized, and easy to access for both display and conservation.
Flexible Storage That Grows with Your Collection
Art collections evolve, and your shelving should too. Adjustable art shelving offers movable parts to fit artwork of various sizes—ideal for storing framed pieces vertically or stacking flat canvases. Strong enough to support heavy works, these shelves adapt as new pieces arrive or exhibits rotate.
Designed for growth and change, adjustable systems help institutions protect, organize, and access collections without constantly reconfiguring their space.

Perfect for framed pieces, these systems mount to the floor or ceiling and slide out for inspection—ideal for curators and conservators managing large inventories.
