Hi all,

 

Just after a bit of advice. We have a number of  unframed and unglazed oil paintings and charcoal drawings in our Collection. Can anyone advise on the correct way of storing these please? I.e. what should they be wrapped in? What should the environment be like? Etc…

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Emma
