Collection Care
Heritage and collection management
Helicon has been supporting museums and heritage institutions in preserving collections since 2000. Our strength lies in the unique combination of common sense, scientific knowledge, and empirical experience. This allows us to offer solutions that are both practical and sustainable.
We operate according to the KEEP! philosophy: heritage care that always considers the collection, location and organisational structure in a holistic manner. This ensures that measures reinforce each other, creating a comprehensive system that truly protects heritage – today and for the future.
PauseBox®
Pause your collection
Our innovative box-in-box storage solution offers heritage a secure future. Thanks to passive climate control, without any installations, we create a stable environment that eliminates risks such as temperature fluctuations, moisture migration, sunlight, pollution, and pests. This sustainable system is energy-efficient, has a minimal carbon footprint, and actively contributes to responsible heritage management.
