Freight company Cargolux Airlines has signed a sponsorship agreement with Luxembourg’s National Museum of History and Art - Musée National d’Histoire et d’Art (MNHA) under which it will give support to the museum by transport of artworks over the next three years.
The agreement builds on Cargolux’s existing agreement to transport works for the Museum of Modern Art (MUDAM), which has stood since 2004.
Long distance transportation of valuable pieces of art is essential to enable exhibitions in the Grand Duchy that originate from all over the world, as well as the other way round. Safe and efficient cargo transportation can add up to a large part of the budget for exhibition projects, especially if pieces of art need to be transported between continents.
“Cargolux is proud to able to play its part in the success of the MNHA,” said Richard Forson, Cargolux President & CEO. “We are happy that we can support the diversity of high profile exhibitions and the advancement of culture and history in Luxembourg.”
“I am very glad that the MNHA managed to conclude such an important partnership with such a renowned logistic company as Cargolux,” Michel Polfer, Director of Luxembourg’s National Museum of History and Art noted, adding, ”This support is crucial for our international exhibition cooperation”.
