RBA Transports “Ashes and Snow” Exhibition to Mexico City

RBA is proud to have been chosen to facilitate the shipment of Gregory Colbert’s acclaimed “Ashes and Snow” exhibition to its current location in the historic Zocalo, the ceremonial central square of Mexico City. Since its debut in Venice in 2002, the exhibition of more than 50 large-scale photographs and films depicting extraordinary interactions between humans and animals has been seen by more than a million and-a-half visitors in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo. The exhibition is housed in a permanent travelling venue, “The Nomadic Museum,” a sustainable structure created from shipping containers and other recyclable and reusable materials.

RBA Wins Contract to Relocate the Robert E. Lee House

Arlington National Cemetery
Arlington, Virginia

RBA was awarded the contract to relocate the contents from the historic Robert E. Lee House overlooking Arlington National Cemetery. The contract was a public tender based on specifications prepared by the National Park Service. The winning bid was selected through a combination of price, credentials, and references.

Contents from the house, including mirrors, paintings, and period furnishings were removed from the premises and put into storage at a temporary location while the house is being refurbished.

The photo at left illustrates the scissor lift used to take some of the furnishings out the window because they were too big to be carried down the narrow stairwell.
