Milwaukee: A Hub For Art Storage? (WUWM 89.7)

Lake Effect Bonnie North speaks with John Shannon, founder of Milwaukee’s Guardian Fine Art Services.

While many of us will never own a Picasso or a Rembrandt, we probably have collections of artworks or objects that are valuable to us. Most of us also have family papers and photographs that have sentimental value — and we might even own a piece or two of antique furniture. How we handle and store these items can keep them safe for future generations or allow them to deteriorate and become trash.

John Shannon, founder of Milwaukee’s Guardian Fine Art Services, wants to make sure your valuables, whatever they are, survive and retain their value. The storage facility handles tangible items like art, antiques, arms, heirlooms and more. ​Items are stored at museum level standards.
