Preservation Cabinet
How can you plan for the future when you don’t know what it will hold? It’s an age-old question that applies to many situations in life, including the storage of museum collections.
Planning for this uncertainty was front and center when Spacesaver designed the 920 Series: Preservation Cabinet. This versatile museum storage cabinet is ideal for the long-term preservation of art collections, geological specimens, natural history collections, anthropology collections, and any other type of museum collection.

Collection Management in Focus
With over 50 years of service with museum partners, our team understands some of the core questions collections professionals ask regularly:
- How will this collection evolve over time?
- What new artifacts will be acquired?
- Do we have adequate storage on both a small and large scale?
What makes Spacesaver’s museum storage cabinets different? Preservation, of course...

Cabinet Configurations
Spacesaver’s 920 Series: Preservation Cabinet ranges from counter-height to full-height with several options in between. Counter-height cabinets can double as a work surface, and their modular design allows them to be safely and securely stacked at a later date. Full-height cabinets, on the other hand, are more cost-effective, with a lower cost per cubic foot of storage capacity.
Standard Dimensions
- Width 30”, 36”, 42”, 48”, 60”
- Depth 18”, 24”, 30”, 36”
- Height 42”, 60”, 72”, 84”, 96”
