UPS sponsors Louisville Museum exhibit and handles transport
Global shipping and logistics giant UPS took on the job of moving paintings from the Mediterranean Sea area to the shores of the Ohio River at Louisville, which proved to be no small accomplishment.
Working in conjunction with KMAC Museum Louisville, Kentucky, UPS put on a Picasso exhibit, not only sponsoring the event but also handling the transportation. Poster printing services, adept at design, can go a long way to increase foot traffic through a museum.
Putting on an exhibit can present both practical and logistical challenges. There is attainability, the exhibition costs, and the expense and difficulty of transporting the artwork and handling the security and insurance. Altogether, costs can run into tens of millions of dollars. Partnering with companies, such as UPS, can be beneficial to small institutions that are without the luxury of a massive budget.
The exhibit’s contents were first trucked to Cologne, Germany from the Musée Picasso in Antibes, France and then on to a UPS Boeing 747. From Germany the artwork flew nonstop to UPS’s mega hub, Worldport, in Louisville. Over 300 arrivals and departures take place each day at the UPS Worldport, processing two million packages a day.
The response so far has been rewarding, with the Picasso exhibit drawing in crowds that are also able to view local and contemporary artist exhibits. The Picasso exhibit will remain open for viewing through March 22.
