My wife has asked an art shipper for a quote. Interestingly, his trucks are designed for paintings and so he doesn't actually need crates -- just lots of vertical sections for holding paintings that are wrapped, I think.

Now we'll check on what to do with the rolled pieces. I'm sure she will have a strong preference for taking the work with her.
I will reattach the link tomorrow from computer rather than phone.

I have not seen that type of truck but that may be because of my experience with various museums and older and perhaps more fragile paintings — canvas or panel.

Has someone recommended this shipper?

I hope I do not sound like an alarmist, but I know of too many people that have run into problems.

I want the exhibition to be a success, the business of art is very challenging.
