It is a known fact that a lot of the damage done to our museum exhibits is caused by museum employees themselves, mostly during the transportation and handling of objects. Ignorance of these matters is more widespread in regional and local museums than in national ones. A study group taking part in the Swedish Museum Association's Conservation Planning project has drawn up standards and instructions for regional and local museums on the transportation and handling of pictures, furniture, glass, and china. This work has resulted in sets of slides with separate printed booklets containing monochrome illustrations. The present article describes the background, how the slide sets were produced, how they have been presented, and the importance of entrusting this work to an expert. The aim is, using simple means and materials, to protect art/other exhibits from unnecessary damage in transit, and during handling. As part of the same project, a similar booklet has been compiled on the handling and storage of textiles. This is unaccompanied by slides but is more comprehensive than the other booklets. The textile booklet, however, is presented in another context. -- AATA
