Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Packing Tibetan Thangkas
Hi!
Our gallery will be traveling a Tibetan exhibit that
contains 46 objects including 10 thangkas ranging in size from 64 (H) x 39-1/2
(W) to 38 (H) x 23-1/2 (W) inches. The thangkas are cloth on the top and bottom
with elaborate painted images on cotton in the center. I’m not quite sure how to
go about packing them in an easy, safe, and compact way. One of the institutions
will be picking up the entire exhibit in a cargo van that has an interior
measurement of 120 (L) x 50 (W) x 70 (H) inches. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to pack them?
Thank you
Christie
