Typical lanes include Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata. Share origin city, destination city and collection type for a scoped quote.

How it works

Domestic fine art moves from survey to install

Every within-India art shipment follows the same chain of custody: one MoveNXT art manager owns the timeline from your first brief through final placement, whether you are moving a single painting or a full gallery floor.

01

Survey and scope

We visit origin (or review registrar packs) to list dimensions, media, hanging hardware and access limits at both addresses. You receive a crate plan, transit mode and install window before packing starts.

02

Pack, crate and document

Works are soft-wrapped, corner-protected and sealed in custom wooden crates or art-specific cartons. Condition photography and inventory numbers match your registrar list or private collection notes.

03

Road transit across India

Climate-aware vehicles and trained handlers move crates on planned metro lanes. Long-haul routes include rest-stop security checks; high-value loads can travel with escort when agreed at survey.

04

De-install, delivery and hang

At destination, crews unpack, re-check condition and install to your floor plan. Private residences, corporate lobbies and institutional galleries each get white-glove handling suited to the space.

FAQs

Domestic fine art logistics questions

What is included in domestic fine art logistics?

Within India, MoveNXT provides survey, condition reporting, custom packing and crating, insured road transit, de-install where needed and white-glove install at destination. One art manager coordinates the full move.

Do you move single paintings or full collections?

Both. We handle one framed work for a residence and multi-crate gallery programmes. Crate mix and crew size are scoped at survey so you are not charged for museum-scale resources on a small shipment.

How is this different from standard packers and movers?

General household cartons are not used for registered art. We build art-specific crates, document chain of custody and assign handlers trained for fragile and high-value objects.

Can you store art between cities?

Yes. Secure, inventoried storage is available when lease dates, exhibition build-outs or renovation timelines do not align. Storage is quoted separately and linked to the same manager and inventory list.

When should I choose international instead of domestic?

If artwork crosses India's border, use International Fine Art Logistics for export crating, customs inventories and air or sea freight. This domestic page is for city-to-city moves inside India only.

Need export crating or international lanes?
