STORAGE

Do not store fine art in basements or attics. These parts of the home are susceptible to dramatic temperature changes, flooding and leaks. If possible, create an "art closet," with horizontal racks and a locked door. Wrap all fine art in fully-protective packing materials, and store framed artwork face to back, in a vertical position.

All storage crates should be clearly marked FRAGILE, and the top should be clearly marked both on the top and with arrows on the vertical sides pointing upward.
