00:00 I'm Hannah Willett, I'm the curator at Beverley Art Gallery and at the moment we are just
00:10 de-installing our collection in Beverley Art Gallery.
00:13 We're currently standing in our condition controlled repository for East Riding Museums.
00:18 So all of the paintings in the art gallery are coming into the repository at the moment
00:21 while we prepare for the Treasure House transformation.
00:24 So during this period all of the paintings will be in here, we'll be doing a lot of research
00:28 and preparing for a complete re-display of the gallery and we have lots of exciting projects
00:32 and events lined up as well.
00:34 So we're moving all of the paintings out of the gallery, so everything on display right
00:38 now with one exception which is a Panic, which some of our visitors may know very well, it's
00:43 our largest painting in the collection.
00:45 So that we are wrapping in situ with special material to ensure that no dust gets to it
00:52 and that the surface of that is kept nice and clean as well.
00:56 They're kind of really on a mission now for getting all the paintings de-installed and
01:00 into the repository here.
01:02 So we've got a week or two before we hand over to contractors, so we're all go, all
01:07 hands on deck at the moment.
