Pyramid Logistics provides climate-controlled, secure warehousing to ensure artwork stays pristine, whether for short-term storage or long-term preservation.

Risks Associated with Improper Art Storage

• Environmental Factors: Fluctuations in temperature and humidity can lead to warping, cracking, or mold growth.
• Pest Infestation: Insects and rodents can cause significant harm to artworks, especially those made from organic materials.
• Pollutants: Exposure to airborne contaminants can result in discoloration or chemical reactions that degrade the artwork.
• Security Threats: Lack of surveillance or controlled access increases vulnerability to theft and vandalism.
