Professional Art Appraisal: A Key Step in Art Storage Planning

While our Storing Arts and Crafts Space Calculator helps you estimate the physical space needed for your collection, understanding the value of your artwork is equally crucial when planning for storage. This is where the Museum of Modern African Art (MOMAA) Art Appraisal Services can provide invaluable assistance. A professional appraisal not only determines the monetary value of your pieces but also helps you make informed decisions about insurance, conservation, and storage methods.

MOMAA’s expert appraisers specialize in modern African art and can provide detailed valuations of your collection. This information is vital when choosing between different storage options, such as basic self-storage units versus climate-controlled art storage facilities.

Before making any long-term storage decisions, consider getting your key pieces appraised by MOMAA’s professionals to ensure you’re providing the right level of protection and care for your valuable artwork.
