Subject: Shipper for donation to museum

My employer is interested in making a donation to a museum.  It's a
"decorative" work of art, weighs about 400 lbs, and has to be crated.
It
will be traveling from NYC to Missouri.  Any ideas about a good, yet
inexpensive shipper?

Back when I worked for a NY gallery, we used a shipper who works for
non-profits, as I recall.  We used it for a client who was loaning a
piece
to MOMA.  Does anyone know who that might have been, and if they might
make
runs out to Missouri?

Thank you so much for your help!
