That depends on the nature of the exhibit. I've used specialized fine art 
shippers and household movers. If you're looking to ship an exhibit 
organized by another museum or a company like SITES of EUSA, your contract 
will specify how you need to ship the exhibit. If your museum has 
organized the exhibit and you want to send it on the road...you need to 
evaluate what you're shipping, how exclusive the shipment is, how many 
times you want the crates handled...etc. 

So, tell me what you're looking for and I'll tell you who I've used for 
that type of shipment.
