“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” A well-known proverb that warns us not to make hasty conclusions based only on first impressions. The same statement could be used to characterize an inconspicuous building on the outskirts of Bratislava. At first glance, an unremarkable building, of which there are dozens in the area, is unique precisely because of what is inside it. In fact, it is a depository of the Bratislava City Museum and the Bratislava City Gallery, which will soon be filled with a number of rare and unique exhibits.

And it is precisely for these premises that we have designed, manufactured and installed efficient storage systems. Thanks to them, we were able to make maximum use of the available space and at the same time ensure the necessary conditions for the safe storage of a large number of exhibits of various types, shapes, dimensions and weights.

The storage systems used can be divided into several groups:

1. Moving racking systems: maximise the use of available space thanks to the principle of creating only one access aisle where it is currently needed. More than 420 installed systems differ from each other according to the type of the stored exhibits. Therefore, there are systems with sliding drawers (for maps and smaller objects), with horizontal and vertical hanging grids (for paintings, posters, maps, costumes, or hanging lamps), with a reinforced frames (for sculptures), open racking systems (for large and heavy exhibits such as furniture), or with winding rollers (for carpets, fabrics and other textiles).

2. Sliding and static hanging systems with mesh panels: their design, solid frame and durable steel mesh allow for hanging a large number of paintings on both sides. We installed up to 500 hanging systems in the depository.

3. Standard fixed racking systems: they are characterized by versatility, high load capacity and large span. Almost 20 fixed racks provide a wide range of storage options, including exhibits with larger dimensions and weight.

4. Winding tubes and rollers: their rubberized surface and high durability provide reliable and safe storage for such specific exhibits as carpets, various textiles, and even oversized documents.

We appreciate the trust and the opportunity to contribute to the preservation not only of precious historical items, but also of unique exhibits of modern art for future generations.
