Summary/Abstract: In 2019, the non-European movable cultural heritage belonging to the Franz Binder Museum was relocated in Sibiu, from the Hermes House (no. 11, Piața Mică), to the ASTRA Centre for Heritage (no. 20, Pădurea Dumbrava). In this context, the department of collection care of the ASTRA National Museum Complex, which is mainly responsible for the preventive conservation and administration of the museum’s cultural heritage, was entrusted with the task of carrying out the project. The actual period, from planning, organising, and preparation to the completion of the transport, lasted four months, and the action involved moving almost 4.000 ethnographic objects. With a focus on the planning and packing side, the case study describes in detail the steps taken, providing a benchmark and a model of good practice for those who might be facing a similar challenge.
