FAQ

Who can host a touring exhibition?

Museums, universities, cultural centres, municipalities/local authorities, and exhibition venues that meet museum-grade security and conservation standards.

How far in advance should we contact you?

At least 12 months before the planned opening date; ideally 18 months in advance.

Can the narrative be adapted to our audience?

Yes. We tailor the curatorial framework, educational offer, and communication strategy to your audience (families/schools, specialist visitors, or first-time audiences).

How much space is required?

It depends on the format:

Compact: from 150 sqm

Medium: 400–700 sqm

Large: 700–2,000 sqm

Each exhibition sheet specifies minimum and maximum requirements.

What budget ranges do you consider?

Depending on duration, distance, security requirements, and optional services. Indicatively:

Under €100,000

€100,000–300,000

€300,000–500,000

Over €500,000 per venue

Is it possible to adapt an exhibition for a smaller venue?

Yes. We can design reduced versions or alternative formats for smaller spaces.

Can we request specific artefacts?

Requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with museum policies, conservation status, insurance coverage, and transport sustainability.

Who manages packing, transport, and installation?

Museo Egizio’s technical team collaborates with specialised fine art service providers and supervises all phases: packing, transport, installation, and deinstallation.

What display cases are required?

Lockable, high-stability museum-grade display cases are required to protect objects from vibration and shock (e.g., fixed to floor or wall). Joints must be sealed to prevent dust contact and to stabilise the internal microclimate. All materials used must be chemically inert with no gas emissions. Internal lighting and climate systems inside cases are not permitted unless otherwise specified and agreed in writing.

What climate and lighting standards apply?

Required conservation parameters (temperature, relative humidity, light levels) are specified by the Registrar during the negotiation phase.

Are couriers included?

Yes, up to three couriers depending on the project. Typical installation time: 10–15 working days. At least one courier always accompanies the crates containing the artefacts, via commercial flight, cargo plane, truck, cargo ferry, or freight train.

What type of insurance is required?

A Fine Art “All Risks” nail-to-nail insurance policy is required.

What about customs and permits?

Handled by specialised fine art service providers. All documentation and timelines are shared during the planning phase.

What happens if dates change?

Contracts include rescheduling and force majeure clauses. When possible, alternative time windows are defined.

Do your exhibitions include human or animal mummies?

Some formats do. Displays are managed according to strict ethical standards, with dedicated cultural mediation and communication guidelines.

Can we choose a version without human remains?

Yes. Alternative configurations without human remains, or with a different thematic focus, are available.

Do you provide educational programmes?

Yes, upon request: school workshops, thematic tours, curator talks, training for guides and teachers, and accessibility options (Italian, LIS, English).

Can you support local marketing and press?

Upon request, we can provide press kits, advertising guidelines, digital and social media materials, and co-branding assets for OOH and online campaigns.

Who holds the rights to texts and images?

Curatorial content and images are licensed for use during the exhibition and for the catalogue.

Can we produce photos or videos in the galleries?

Yes, in accordance with policies and rights agreements. Coordination with the press office and Registrar is required for scheduling and permissions.

What results can we expect?

Outcomes depend on the venue and programming strategy. Based on past exhibitions, Museo Egizio provides benchmarks including visitor numbers, school participation, and audience engagement indicators.
