Description

The Art Collection is currently stored across three locations at IWM Lambeth Road (LR) and IWM Duxford (DX). The storage strategy underpinning this tender is to increase the capacity for paintings storage in the existing LR art store and centralise the painting collection to one location (the art store at LR). To facilitate this roller racking for storing solander boxes will be relocated to DX. This supports a wider storage project that will reduce the storage footprint at LR and centralise storage at DX to enable an increase in the public gallery offer at LR.

The wider storage project involves an investment of £6.9 million to make (80%) of our collections storage fit for purpose in the next three years. The project relocates 90% of collection storage to DX and 10% (painting collection) of storage remains at LR.

The main aims of the project are:

1. Care of the collection
2. Long term care and sustainability of the heritage buildings, landscape and infrastructure
3. Affordable, efficient and sustainable investment of public money
