PRESERVING HISTORY WITH WESTBOW SYSTEMS
Museums & Archives
Museums and archives have limited space to showcase their incredible artifacts, art, and interactive displays. To keep things fresh and engaging, they often rotate their collections, ensuring there's always something new for visitors to see. Westbow Systems offers organized and easily accessible museum storage solutions that are vital to the long-term success of any museum. Our solutions help museums protect their assets, making it easier to share the stories and lessons of history with everyone.
Vital To The Long-Term Success Of Any Museum or Archive
The art, artifacts, and specimens in museums are irreplaceable treasures. They tell stories, teach facts, and evoke emotions. But imagine trying to share these stories and finding the objects are lost, stolen, misplaced, or too hard to display. Museums and archives must balance securing their collections with making the most of their available storage space. Our storage systems ensure that every item is safe, organized, and easily accessible, helping museums continue to educate and inspire future generations.
SPACE EFFICIENCY
Cost Effective Solutions
Westbow Systems provides innovative storage solutions designed to save space and reduce costs for museums and archives. Our advanced shelving systems maximize floor space, enabling museums to store valuable art collections in-house rather than relying on costly external storage facilities. With Westbow Systems, your museum or archive will benefit from ample, secure storage that allows for easy access and the potential for future collection growth. Our solutions ensure your collections are preserved and protected while optimizing your available space.
MODERN MUSEUM STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Creative Storage Solutions For Museum and Archive Collections
Museums and archives are finding new ways to engage with their communities by using creative storage solutions that also serve as unique displays. At Westbow Systems, we collaborate with architects, designers, and our in-house team to create systems that promote engagement while maintaining high standards of collections care. Matching the right storage solution to the specific needs of each department is crucial. For example, art, natural history, and entomology departments all require different storage designs. Specialized designs, like herbarium cabinets, ensure the proper care and display of items.

Museum and Archive Storage & Display Solutions
EASY VISIBILITY FOR ARTWORK
Engaging And Easy Visibility For Your Collections.
In a time where museum professionals are looking for new and meaningful ways to engage visitors, Westbow Systems' custom visible storage offers a creative solution. This approach not only protects collections but also increases access to artifacts that would otherwise remain hidden. Given the limited exhibition space and the fact that many museums store most of their holdings, visible storage allows visitors, donors, and board members to better appreciate the full extent of a museum's collection. Our visible storage maximizes public access to museum and art collections kept in storage.
