Museums and historical organizations require more than standard moving services. Artifacts are often irreplaceable, oversized, fragile, or uniquely constructed. It requires crews with experience in moving these types of pieces, including safely disassembling and reassembling items, and having the proper equipment, and usually lift gate trucks.
Museum Moving Services
- Museums and historical societies
- Galleries and exhibit spaces
- Universities and archives
- Traveling exhibits and special installations
What We Move
Our team is trained to handle a wide range of museum and specialty items, including:
- Historic artifacts and antiques
- Sculptures and large display pieces
- Exhibit cases and pedestals
- Oversized or irregular objects
- Specialty items requiring coordinated team handling
- Staged or phased relocations
Every project begins with a walkthrough and a plan to ensure safe handling and secure transport.
Featured Project: Chester County Historical Society
This month, O’Brien’s Moving & Storage assisted the historic Chester County Courthouse with relocating a historic cannon and carriage from the Brandywine Battlefield Museum. This project required careful positioning, protective staging, and coordinated navigation through the interior hallways to ensure both the artifact and the surrounding building were protected throughout the move.
Just a few months earlier, we moved the Chester County Tourism Center, which included moving memorabilia, artifacts, and display cases.
One of our favorite moves was relocating antique automobiles from the 2nd floor of a museum.
