My museum, the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, has several mural studies that are difficult to store. The largest is 155 x 96" and is identified as charcoal with graphite and white chalk on paper. These came in the early 2000s and have been rolled suspended from the ceiling since that time. We have a gift offer of more, but the collections team sees this method of storage as problematic. We' re wondering if any other collections have huge paper objects like this and have and advice or better solutions.
Thank you!
