Perfectly organized logistics, delicate and careful handling, were the watchwords of the specialized technicians of Bovis Fine Art who packed, transported, moved and installed very fragile works of great historical value, at the Granet Museum in Aix-en-Provence as part of the “Pharaon, Osiris et la momie” exhibition.
Installation of the great national “Pharaoh” exhibition at the Granet Museum
The exhibition, which opened on September 19, 2020 for a period of five months, features 150 pieces from the museum’s Egyptian antiquities reserves, a very rich collection complemented by many pieces loaned by the Louvre Museum, the Dijon Museum, Avignon, Guéret, as well as European institutions such as the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in the Netherlands, the Heidelberg Museum in Germany and the Turin Museum in Italy.
We are very proud to have contributed to the success of this prestigious exhibition, thanks to the know-how and experience of two basing specialists and three Bovis Fine Art works of art handling specialists.
