A network of specialists across the cultural, spatial and design disciplines.

Blue Arc's Private Collection projects are developed through an international network of specialists working across the European Union, the United Kingdom and, soon, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Each project brings together the disciplines required to properly understand, curate and present the collection — from museum-standard research and interpretation to bespoke interiors, display architecture and furniture.

The team is assembled according to the collection, its scale, its setting and the ambitions of the collector.

THE BLUE ARC. TEAM

TAILORED TO THE COLLECTION

No two collections require the same approach.

The three levels provide a starting point, while the final scope, team and services are developed around the collection, the space, the number of objects and the collector's ambitions.
